We operate in a single reportable operating segment through which we sell various nut products through multiple distribution channels.

The following summarizes net sales by distribution channel for the fiscal years ended:

*	Sales of branded products were approximately 30%, 29% and 31% of total consumer channel sales during fiscal 2013, 2012 and 2011, respectively

The following summarizes sales by product type as a percentage of total gross sales. The information is based upon gross sales, rather than net sales, because certain adjustments, such as promotional discounts, are not allocable to product types, for the fiscal year ended:


Product Type	June 27, 2013			June 28, 2012			June 30, 2011
Peanuts		18.2	%		17.6	%		16.2	%

For all periods presented, the largest component of the “Other” product type is trail and snack mixes which include nut products.
