Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

The Company’s operations are exposed to market risks relating to commodity prices that affect the Company’s cost of raw materials, finished product prices and energy costs and the risk of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

The Company makes limited use of derivative instruments to manage cash flow risks related to natural gas usage, diesel fuel usage, inventory, forecasted sales and foreign currency exchange rates. The Company does not use derivative instruments for trading purposes. Natural gas swaps and options are entered into with the intent of managing the overall cost of natural gas usage by reducing the potential impact of seasonal weather demands on natural gas that increases natural gas prices. Heating oil swaps and options are entered into with the intent of managing the overall cost of diesel fuel usage by reducing the potential impact of seasonal weather demands on diesel fuel that increases diesel fuel prices. Soybean meal options are entered into with the intent of managing the impact of changing prices for poultry meal sales. Corn options and future contracts are entered into with the intent of managing U.S. forecasted sales of bakery by-products (“BBP”) by reducing the impact of changing prices. Foreign currency forward and option contracts are entered into to mitigate the foreign exchange rate risk for transactions designated in a currency other than the local functional currency. At July 3, 2021, the Company had corn option contracts, soybean meal forward contracts and foreign exchange forward and option contracts outstanding that qualified and were designated for hedge accounting as well as corn forward contracts and foreign currency forward contracts that did not qualify and were not designated for hedge accounting.

Cash Flow Hedges

In fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2021, the Company entered into corn option contracts on the Chicago Board of Trade that are designated as cash flow hedges. Under the terms of the corn option contracts, the Company hedged a portion of its U.S. forecasted sales of BBP into the fourth quarter of fiscal 2021. At July 3, 2021 and January 2, 2021, the aggregate fair value of these corn option contracts was approximately $8.2 million and $6.8 million, respectively. These amounts are included in accrued expenses on the balance sheet, with an offset recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company may enter into corn option contracts in the future from time to time.

In fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2021, the Company entered into foreign exchange forward and option contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges. Under the terms of the foreign exchange contracts, the Company hedged a portion of its forecasted collagen sales in currencies other than the functional currency through the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022. At July 3, 2021 and January 2, 2021, the aggregate fair value of these foreign exchange contracts was approximately $9.8 million and $11.6 million, respectively. These amounts are included in other current assets, accrued expense and noncurrent assets on the balance sheet, with an offset recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

In fiscal 2020 and fiscal 2021, the Company entered into soybean meal forward contracts to hedge a portion of its forecasted poultry meal sales into the third quarter of fiscal 2021. At July 3, 2021 and January 2, 2021, the aggregate

fair value of the soybean meal contracts was less than $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively. These amounts are included in other current assets on the balance sheet, with an offset recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss.
