Distribution Channel and Product Type Sales Mix [Abstract]

Distribution Channel and Product Type Sales Mix

Note 10 — Distribution Channel and Product Type Sales Mix

We operate in a single reportable segment through which we sell various nut and nut related products through multiple distribution channels.

The following summarizes net sales by distribution channel:

	For the Quarter Ended				For the Thirty-nine Weeks Ended
Distribution Channel	March 29, 2012		March 24, 2011		March 29, 2012		March 24, 2011
Consumer	$	85,434	$	82,775	$	325,206	$	320,525
Commercial Ingredients		41,887		32,650		130,099		114,786
Contract Packaging		16,367		12,240		50,984		45,916
Export		10,072		9,777		27,580		26,603
Total	$	153,760	$	137,442	$	533,869	$	507,830

Effective the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we are reporting net sales for the “commercial ingredients” distribution channel. Previously, sales to this channel were reported separately in either the “industrial” or “food service” distribution channels. Due to substantial similarities in these two channels, we combined them and will report these net sales in one channel called “commercial ingredients.” The similarities between the two channels include, among other things, sales of bulk products that are used to produce ingredients with nut products. All prior years’ amounts are reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

The following summarizes sales by product type as a percentage of total gross sales. The information is based upon gross sales, rather than net sales, because certain adjustments, such as promotional discounts, are not allocable to product type.

	For the Quarter Ended						For the Thirty-nine Weeks Ended
Product Type	March 29, 2012			March 24, 2011			March 29, 2012			March 24, 2011
Peanuts		19.7	%		17.5	%		17.0	%		15.6	%
Pecans		11.7			16.0			19.1			20.1
Cashews & Mixed Nuts		20.7			21.8			20.5			20.5
Walnuts		13.1			11.5			12.3			12.4
Almonds		17.4			14.3			14.1			13.2
Other		17.4			18.9			17.0			18.2
Total		100.0	%		100.0	%		100.0	%		100.0	%

For all periods presented, the largest component of the “Other” product type is trail and snack mixes which include nut products.
