Our operations consist of two reportable segments: frozen products and  snack products.  The frozen products segment produces frozen fruits, vegetables, beverages and desserts for sale primarily to groceries, club stores and mass merchandisers.  The snack products segment produces potato chips, kettle chips, potato crisps, potato skins, pellet snacks, sheeted dough products, popcorn and extruded products for sale primarily to snack food distributors and retailers.  Our reportable segments offer different products and services.  The majority of our revenues are attributable to external customers in the United States.  We also sell to external customers internationally; however, the revenues attributable to such customers are immaterial.  All of our assets are located in the United States.

All products sold under our frozen products segment are considered part of the healthy/natural food category.  The products sold under our snack products segment include products considered part of the indulgent specialty snack food category, as well as products considered part of the healthy/natural food category.  For the quarters ended March 26, 2016 and March 28, 2015, net revenues of our healthy/natural food category totaled $60.0 million and $66.1 million, respectively.  For the quarters ended March 26, 2016 and March 28, 2015, net revenues of our indulgent specialty snack food category totaled $9.9 million and $11.5 million, respectively.

We do not allocate assets, selling, general and administrative expenses, income taxes or other income and expense to our reportable segments.  The following table present information about our reportable segments for the quarters ended March 26, 2016 and March 28, 2015 (in thousands):
