Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Basis of Presentation [Policy Text Block] | Basis of Presentation These interim consolidated financial statements of SunOpta Inc. (the "Company" or "SunOpta") have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and in accordance with United States ("U.S.") generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information. Accordingly, these condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for fair presentation have been included and all such adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature. Operating results for the quarter ended April 1, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 30, 2023 or for any other period. The interim consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries and have been prepared on a basis consistent with the annual consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements, and notes thereto, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 (the "2022 Form 10-K"). As described in notes 1 and 23 to the consolidated financial statements included in the 2022 Form 10-K, certain amounts previously reported for the quarter ended April 2, 2022 have been revised.
Fiscal Year [Policy Text Block] | Fiscal Year The fiscal year of the Company consists of a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to December 31.
