Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]
Restructuring and Relocation	Relocation In August 2012, we announced a restructuring plan to transform the company into a branded commodity operator. The restructuring plan was designed to reduce costs and improve our competitive position by focusing our resources on the banana and salad businesses, reducing investment in non-core products, reducing overhead and manufacturing cost and limiting consumer marketing activities. In connection with this restructuring plan, we eliminated approximately 300 positions worldwide and incurred $18 million of restructuring costs, including $11 million of severance and $5 million of impairments primarily related to fixed assets and certain promotional and packaging materials. The restructuring was substantially complete at December 31, 2012. At March 31, 2014 we had a remaining severance accrual of $1 million related to severance payments to the former chief executive officer. A legal claim related to relocation activities in 2012 was settled for less than $1 million in the first quarter of 2014. In the first quarter of 2014, we disposed of a non-core healthy snacking business in Europe, resulting in a loss of $3 million, which was recorded in “Other income (expense), net.” Of this loss, $1 million related to cash payments upon disposal. This business represented approximately $2 million in annual net sales and had an insignificant effect on operating income.

The entire disclosure for restructuring and related activities. Description of restructuring activities such as exit and disposal activities, include facts and circumstances leading to the plan, the expected plan completion date, the major types of costs associated with the plan activities, total expected costs, the accrual balance at the end of the period, and the periods over which the remaining accrual will be settled.
