A preliminary valuation of the acquired net assets of RB Foods resulted in the allocation of $1,697.5 million and $848.8 million of goodwill to the consumer segment and industrial segment, respectively. We acquired Giotti in December 2016 (see note 2). We completed the final valuation of the acquired net assets of Giotti during the fourth quarter of 2017 which resulted in the allocation of $80.5 million of goodwill to the industrial segment. During fiscal 2017, we also finalized the purchase accounting for our 2016 acquisitions of Gourmet Garden and Cajun Injector, which resulted in a $7.1 million reduction in our consumer segment's goodwill.
