Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS	RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS We own 80% of Late July. We also have a $6.0 million line of credit between the Company and Late July, of which $3.9 million was drawn by Late July in order to repay certain obligations. The balance of $3.9 million remains outstanding as of July 1, 2017, and is eliminated in consolidation. As part of our acquisition of Diamond Foods, we obtained 51.0% of the outstanding shares of Yellow Chips Holding B.V. (“Yellow Chips”), which produces vegetable chips and organic potato chips primarily for the Dutch and other European markets. The investment is accounted for under the equity method, as the other owners have substantive participating rights that provide them with significant influence greater than ours over the financial performance of Yellow Chips. As of July 1, 2017, we have a €2.4 million loan receivable outstanding with Yellow Chips. We have two facilities used to support distribution of our products in the northeastern US that are leased from an entity owned by one of our employees. There were $0.1 million in lease payments made for these facilities in the second quarters of both 2017 and 2016, and $0.2 million for the first six months of both 2017 and 2016. One of the members of our Board of Directors, Lawrence Jackson, is also a member of the Board of Directors of Information Resources, Inc. ("IRI"), which we began using as our syndicated market data provider at the end of 2015. Total payments made to IRI for these services in the second quarters of 2017 and 2016 were $1.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Total payments made to IRI for these services in the first six months of 2017 and 2016 were $2.3 million and $1.6 million. ARWCO Corporation, MAW Associates, LP and Warehime Enterprises, Inc. are significantly owned or controlled by Patricia A. Warehime, a member of our Board of Directors and a beneficial owner of more than 5.0% of our common stock. Among other unrelated business activities, these entities provide financing to IBOs for the purchase of route businesses. We have entered into loan service agreements with these related parties that requires us to repurchase certain distribution assets in the event an IBO defaults on a loan with the related party. We are required to repurchase the assets 30 days after default at the value as defined in the loan service agreement, which approximates fair market value. As of July 1, 2017, there were outstanding loans made to IBOs by the related parties of approximately $19.0 million, compared to $21.5 million as of December 31, 2016. Transactions with these related parties are primarily related to the collection and remittance of loan payments on notes receivable held by the affiliates. If IBOs default on loans, the related parties will purchase inventory in order to service the routes prior to our requirement to repurchase the route assets. Revenue from the sale of inventory to these related parties was approximately $0.1 million for the second quarters of 2017 and 2016, and $0.3 million for the first six months of 2017 and 2016. In addition, we are reimbursed for certain overhead and administrative services associated with the services provided to these related parties. The receivables from, payables to and administrative fees received from these entities are not significant for any period presented. One of our directors, C. Peter Carlucci, Jr., is a member of Eckert Seamans Cherin & Mellott, LLC (“Eckert”), which serves as one of our outside legal firms. The expense incurred for services provided by Eckert for the second quarter of 2017 was less than $0.1 million, and $0.1 million for the first six months of 2017. Expenses incurred for services provided by Eckert for the second quarter of 2016 were $0.1 million, and $0.2 million for the first six months of 2016.
