Certain of the Company's rendering facilities are highly dependent on one or few suppliers. It is reasonably possible that certain of those suppliers could cease their operations or choose a competitor’s services, which could have a significant impact on these facilities. The process of evaluating goodwill for impairment involves the determination of the fair value of the Company's reporting units. In fiscal 2016, fiscal 2015 and fiscal 2014, the fair values of the Company’s reporting units containing goodwill exceeded the related carrying value pursuant to a quantitative assessment completed as of October 29, 2016, October 31, 2015 and October 24, 2014, respectively.
