Retirement Benefits [Abstract] |
PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS | PENSION AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS The Company sponsors programs that provide retirement benefits to most of its employees. These programs include qualified defined benefit pension plans in the U.K., such as the Tulip Limited Pension Plan and the Geo Adams Group Pension Fund, nonqualified defined benefit retirement plans, a defined benefit postretirement life insurance plan and defined contribution retirement savings plan. Expenses recognized under all retirement plans totaled $6.4 million and $7.4 million in the three months ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively, and $16.1 million and $18.6 million in the six months ended June 29, 2025 and June 30, 2024, respectively. In the fourth quarter of 2024, the Company completed the termination of its two U.S. pension plans, Pilgrim’s Pride Retirement Plan for Union Employees (the “Union Plan”) and the Pilgrim’s Pride Pension Plan for Legacy Gold Kist Employees (the “GK Pension Plan”). Under the plan terminations, participants were offered a lump-sum buyout or an annuity placement buyout. Assets of the pension plans were liquidated and funds from liquidation were used to settle the obligations, which amounted to $99.6 million at time of termination. The Company used a quarter-end measurement date of June 29, 2025 for its pension and postretirement benefits plans. Certain disclosures are listed below. Other disclosures are not material to the financial statements. Net Periodic Benefit Costs Net defined benefit pension and other postretirement costs included the following components:

During the six months ended June 29, 2025, the Company received $4.6 million from the liquidation of the remaining assets of the Union Plan and GK Pension Plan, the majority of which will be used to cover future plan administration costs for the U.S. defined contribution retirement savings plan.
