Fair Value, Assets, Liabilities and Stockholders' Equity Measured on Recurring Basis [Abstract] |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS FASB guidance establishes a three-level fair value hierarchy based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price assets or liabilities. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows: Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities, Level 2 — Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets, and Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions and best estimate of what inputs market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. The fair values of our Level 2 derivative instruments were determined using valuation models that use market observable inputs including interest rate curves and both forward and spot prices for currencies and commodities. Derivative assets and liabilities included in Level 2 primarily represent commodity and foreign currency option and forward contacts, interest rate swaps, and cross-currency swaps. The following table presents our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis based upon the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall, as of November 23, 2014:
| Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Level 3 |  | Net Value
Assets: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Derivative assets | $ | 10.5 |  |  | $ | 20.7 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 31.2 |

Deferred compensation assets | 5.6 |  |  | — |  |  | — |  |  | 5.6 |
Total assets | $ | 18.6 |  |  | $ | 20.7 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 39.3 |

The following table presents our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis based upon the level within the fair value hierarchy in which the fair value measurements fall, as of May 25, 2014:
| Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Level 3 |  | Net Value
Assets: |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Derivative assets | $ | 8.5 |  |  | $ | 30.3 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 38.8 |

Certain assets and liabilities, including long-lived assets, goodwill, asset retirement obligations, and cost and equity investments are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, a goodwill impairment charge of $216.6 million was recognized within the Private Brands segment. See Note 7 for a discussion of the methodology employed to measure this impairment. During the second quarter of fiscal 2015, impairments of certain indefinite-lived brands were recognized in the amount of $30.0 million in the Private Brands segment. The fair value of these brands were estimated using the "relief from royalty" method. The carrying amount of long-term debt (including current installments) was $7.9 billion as of November 23, 2014 and $8.9 billion as of May 25, 2014. Based on current market rates, the fair value of this debt (level 2 liabilities) at November 23, 2014 and May 25, 2014, was estimated at $8.4 billion and $9.5 billion, respectively. Included in the November 23, 2014 and May 25, 2014 long-term debt carrying amount, and excluded from the above fair value table, is $0.5 billion of hedged debt that, along with the related hedge instruments, is adjusted for changes in fair value based solely on the change in the related benchmark interest rate (see Note 8).
