Other Operating Income And Expense [Text Block]	4. Product Recall During the second quarter of 2016, the Company announced a voluntary recall of certain roasted sunflower kernel products produced at its Crookston, Minnesota facility due to potential contamination with Listeria monocytogenes bacteria. The affected sunflower products originated from the Crookston facility between May 31, 2015 and April 21, 2016. As at July 1, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company recognized estimated losses related to the recall of $47.0 million and $40.0 million, respectively, which comprised estimates for customer losses and direct incremental costs incurred by the Company. The estimates for customer losses reflected the cost of the affected sunflower kernel products returned to or replaced by the Company and the estimated cost to reimburse customers for costs incurred by them related to the recall of their retail products that contain the affected sunflower kernels as an ingredient or component. The incremental costs incurred directly by the Company do not include lost earnings associated with the interruption of production at the Company’s roasting facilities, or the costs to put into place corrective and preventive actions at those facilities. The Company’s estimates for customer losses related to the recall are provisional and were determined based on an assessment of the information available up to the date of filing of this report, including a review of customer claims received as of that date and consideration of the extent of potential additional claims that have yet to be received. The Company’s estimates reflect the amount of losses that it determined as at July 1, 2017 to be both probable and reasonably estimable. The Company may need to revise its estimates in subsequent periods as the Company continues to work with its customers and insurance providers to substantiate the claims received to date and any additional claims that may be received. These revisions may occur at any time and may be material. The Company has general liability and product recall insurance policies with aggregate limits of $47.0 million under which it is expecting to recover recall-related costs, less applicable deductibles. The Company recognizes expected insurance recoveries in the period in which the recoveries are determined to be probable of realization. As at July 1, 2017, the Company has recognized recoveries up to the limit of the coverage available under its insurance policies. Consequently, to the extent any losses are excluded under the insurance policies or additional losses are recognized related to existing or new claims, these excluded or excess losses will be recognized as a charge to future earnings. As at July 1, 2017, $23.2 million of the estimated recall-related costs were unsettled and were recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. These costs were offset by the corresponding estimated insurance recoveries of $20.8 million included in accounts receivable on the consolidated balance sheet as at July 1, 2017, which is net of $25.6 million of advances the Company received from its insurance providers prior to July 1, 2017. As at July 1, 2017, the Company had settled customer claims in the amount of $23.8 million, which was fully funded under the Company’s general liability and product recall insurance policies.
