Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Reportable Segments REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
Our reportable segments are determined on the basis of our organizational structure and information that is regularly reviewed by our CODM for the purpose of making operating and resource allocation decisions and assessing the performance of the operating segments of our business. Our CODM is our Chief Executive Officer. Our CODM reviews assets at a consolidated level; not by reportable segment. Therefore, we do not disclose assets by reportable segment.
The measure of segment profit reviewed by our CODM is operating profit, which represents the operating results of our operating segments with the exception of certain gains, losses and other expenses which are not allocated to our segments. Our CODM uses operating profit to assess segment performance, compensate employees and allocate capital, personnel and other resources to each segment. We recently removed income from equity method investments from the measure of segment profit reviewed by our CODM. Accordingly, the historical segment results presented herein have been retrospectively adjusted to remove income from equity method investments.
Following the carve-out and distribution of our European operations (see “Note 3: Discontinued Operations”), we conduct our operations through three reportable segments: Packaged Meats, Fresh Pork and Hog Production.
Packaged Meats
The Packaged Meats segment consists of our U.S. operations that process fresh meat into a wide variety of packaged meats products, including bacon, sausage, hot dogs, deli and lunch meats, dry sausage products (such as pepperoni and genoa), ham products, ready-to-eat products and prepared foods (such as pre-cooked entrees, bacon and sausage). Approximately 80% of the Packaged Meats segment’s raw materials are sourced from our Fresh Pork segment. We market our domestic packaged meats products under a strategic set of core brands, which include: Smithfield, Eckrich, Nathan’s Famous, Farmland, Armour, Farmer John, Kretschmar, Krakus, John Morrell, Cook’s, Gwaltney, Carando, Margherita, Curly’s and Smithfield Culinary. We also sell a sizeable portion of our packaged meats products as private label products. The majority of the Packaged Meats segment’s products are sold to retail and foodservice customers in the U.S.
Fresh Pork
The Fresh Pork segment consists of our U.S. operations that process live hogs into a wide variety of primal, sub-primal and offal products, such as bellies, butts, hams, loins, picnics and ribs. In fiscal year 2024, the Fresh Pork segment sourced approximately half of its raw materials from our Hog Production segment and half from independent farmers with whom we partner across the U.S. Approximately one-third of our fresh pork products, including the majority of hams, bellies and trimmings, is transferred to our Packaged Meats segment. Externally, we sell our fresh pork products to domestic retail, foodservice and industrial customers, as well as to export markets, including, among others, China, Mexico, Japan, South Korea and Canada.
Hog Production
The Hog Production segment consists of our hog production operations in the U.S., which produce and raise our hogs on numerous company-owned farms and farms that are owned and operated by third-party contract farmers. Nearly all of the hogs produced by this segment are processed by our Fresh Pork segment. The Hog Production segment also may sell grains to external customers.
The following table provides certain financial information by reportable segment for the fiscal years presented with a reconciliation to the consolidated totals.
