During fiscal 2017, we recorded a $52 million impairment charge related to our San Diego Prepared Foods operation.

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.
Additionally, in accordance with recently adopted accounting guidance, we have retrospectively recognized $23 million and $10 million of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit credit, excluding the service cost component, for fiscal 2018 and fiscal 2017, respectively, and recorded the amounts in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income in Other, net.
