Other Income and Expenses [Abstract]
Other Income And Charges	OTHER INCOME AND CHARGES During fiscal 2017, we recorded $28 million of legal costs related to two former subsidiaries of Hillshire Brands, which were sold by Hillshire Brands in 1986 and 1994, $18 million of acquisition bridge financing fees related to the AdvancePierre acquisition and $19 million of equity earnings in joint ventures, which were recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income in Other, net. In the second quarter of fiscal 2017, we recorded a $52 million impairment charge related to our San Diego Prepared Foods operation. The impairment was comprised of $43 million of property, plant and equipment, $8 million of definite lived intangible assets and $1 million of other assets. This charge, of which $44 million was included in the Consolidated Statements of Income in Cost of Sales and $8 million was included in the Consolidated Statements of Income in Selling, General and Administrative, was triggered by a change in a co-manufacturing contract and ongoing losses. During fiscal 2016, we recorded $12 million of equity earnings in joint ventures and $4 million in net foreign currency exchange losses, which were recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income in Other, net. During fiscal 2015, following the sale of our Mexico and Brazil chicken production operations, we reviewed our strategy and outlook for the remaining international businesses, which operations include our chicken production operations in China. Despite our belief in the potential for this business, our Chinese operations had not achieved profitability. Given the losses that were generated in this business, changes in the strategy and management of the business, and the depressed economic outlook for China at that time, we assessed our Chinese operations for potential impairment in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015. As a result of this evaluation, during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we recorded a $169 million impairment charge. The impairment was comprised of $126 million of property, plant and equipment, $23 million of goodwill and $20 million of other assets. The China operation is included in Other for segment reporting and the impairment was included in Cost of Sales in the Consolidated Statements of Income. During fiscal 2015, we recorded $12 million of equity earnings in joint ventures and $21 million of gains on the sale of equity securities, which were recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Income in Other, net.
