Pay vs Performance Disclosure [Table] |  |  |  |
Pay vs Performance [Table Text Block] |  | ### Pay Versus Performance The tables and related disclosure below shows (i) the “total compensation” of our principal executive officers (“PEOs”) and our other Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”) as presented in the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”), (ii) the compensation actually paid (“CAP”) (as defined by the SEC in Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act) to our PEOs and our other Named Executive Officers, (iii) certain financial performance measures for the years shown in the table and (iv) the relationship of CAP to those financial performance measures. For purpose of this discussion, individuals holding the role of CEO for all or part of the year are identified as our PEO; any other NEO not reported as a PEO in a given year are referred to as our “Non-PEO NEOs.” This disclosure has been prepared in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act and does not necessarily reflect value actually realized by the executives or how our Compensation and Human Capital Committee evaluates compensation decisions in light of company or individual performance. For discussion of how our Compensation and Human Capital Committee seeks to align pay with performance when making compensation decisions, please review the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” beginning on page 28.

(2) | Amounts reflect the total compensation reported in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”) for each corresponding year. Amounts presented for Non-PEO NEOs are averages for the entire group in each respective year
(4) | Total Shareholder Return (TSR) represents the cumulative return on a fixed investment of $100 in the Company’s common stock, for the period beginning on the last trading day of fiscal year 2020 through the end of the applicable fiscal year, assuming reinvestment of dividends.
(5) | Peer Group TSR represents the cumulative return on a fixed investment of $100 in the S&P 500 Packaged Foods & Meats Sub Industry Index for the period beginning on the last trading day of fiscal year 2020 through the end of the applicable fiscal year, assuming reinvestment of dividends. This is the industry index used for comparative purposes on the total return chart included in our Form 10-K.
(6) | The dollar amounts reported represent the GAAP net income reflected in the Company’s audited financial statements for the applicable year.
(7) | Net Sales is reflected for each respective fiscal year and was selected as the Company’s most important financial performance measure used to link CAP to PEOs and Non-PEO NEOs.
(1) | Our PEOs and Non-PEO NEOs included in these columns reflect the following individuals:
Year |  | PEO 1 |  | PEO 2 |  | Non-PEO NEOs

(2) | Amounts reflect the total compensation reported in the “Total” column of the Summary Compensation Table (“SCT”) for each corresponding year. Amounts presented for Non-PEO NEOs are averages for the entire group in each respective year
(3) | CAP has been calculated based on the requirements and methodology set forth in the applicable SEC rules (Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K). The CAP calculation includes the end-of-year value of awards granted within the fiscal year, the change in fair value from prior year end of vested awards and the change in the fair value of unvested awards granted in prior years, regardless of if, when, or at which intrinsic value they will actually vest. To calculate CAP the following amounts were deducted from and added to the total compensation number shown in the SCT:

For purposes of the above adjustments, the fair value of equity awards on the applicable date were determined in accordance with FASB’s ASC Topic 718, using valuation methodologies that are generally consistent with those used to determine the grant-date fair value for accounting purposes. The table below contains ranges of assumptions used in the valuation of outstanding equity awards for the relevant fiscal year(s).
