1. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SunOpta Inc. and those of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") and have been prepared by the Company in United States ("U.S.") dollars and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. Fiscal Year The fiscal year of the Company consists of a 52- or 53-week period ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. Fiscal year 2025 was a 53-week period ending on January 3, 2026, and fiscal years 2024 and 2023 were each 52-week periods ending on December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively. Fiscal year 2026 will be a 52-week period ending on January 2, 2027, with quarterly periods ending on April 4, 2026, July 4, 2026, and October 3, 2026. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions require judgment on the part of management and are based on the Company's historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Fair Value Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (that is, an exit price). Fair value measurements are estimated based on inputs categorized as follows:
When measuring fair value, the Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. Foreign Currency Transactions Gains or losses resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are included in foreign exchange gain/loss on the consolidated statements of operations. Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits with an original maturity of 90 days or less. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with institutions of high creditworthiness. Restricted Cash Restricted cash consists of cash that is legally restricted as to withdrawal or usage. Accounts Receivable Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for credit losses is an estimate of the amount of probable losses in existing accounts receivable. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. The Company closely monitors receivable balances and estimates an allowance for credit losses based on historical collection experience, and account aging analysis and trends, and evaluates the adequacy of the allowance each reporting period, considering individual customer account reviews, write-offs recorded in the period, sales forecasts and trends, and current and expected economic and customer-specific conditions. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when the Company determines the receivable will not be recovered. As at January 3, 2026, two long-term customers represented approximately 34% and 18%, respectively, of the Company's consolidated accounts receivable balance. The Company does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risks with respect to these customers. Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold on the consolidated statements of operations. Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes capitalized interest on borrowings during the construction of major capital projects. Depreciation begins when an asset is ready for its intended use. Property, plant and equipment assets, other than land, are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
Leases At the lease commencement date, the Company recognizes a right-of-use lease asset for an amount equal to the lease liability, less any lease incentives. The lease liability is determined based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. The lease term includes the noncancellable term of the lease, together with periods covered by options to extend the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The discount rate used to determine the present value of the future lease payments is the implicit rate in the lease if readily determinable. When that rate is not readily determinable, the Company applies its incremental borrowing rate, which its estimated using relevant interest rate yield curves and credit spreads derived from available market data. The Company excludes non-lease components in determining the future lease payments. Intangible Assets The Company's finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which are 15 years for brand names, 20 years for customer relationships, and nine years for other intangible assets. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable, the fair value of the asset is determined typically using an income approach (discounted cash flow analysis). An impairment loss is recognized in earnings for any excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess in a business combination of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is instead tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually, or whenever events or circumstances change between the annual impairment tests that would indicate the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. The Company performs its annual test for goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. The Company can elect to qualitatively assess goodwill for impairment if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value. If the Company elects to quantitatively assess goodwill, or it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, the Company estimates the fair value of each of its reporting units using an income approach (discounted cash flow method). Goodwill impairment charges are recognized based on the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value. Based on its qualitative assessment, the Company determined that goodwill was not impaired as at January 3, 2026. Prior to fiscal 2019, the Company recognized accumulated goodwill impairment losses of $213.8 million. Debt Issuance Costs Costs incurred in connection with obtaining debt financing are deferred and amortized over the term of the financing arrangement. Costs incurred to secure revolving credit facilities are recorded in other long-term assets. All other debt issuance costs are recorded as a direct deduction from the related debt liability. Income Taxes The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and carryforwards, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. A temporary difference is the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of an asset or liability. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on enacted tax rates. The effect of changes in tax rates and laws is recognized in the period of enactment. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Income tax expense or benefit is the income taxes payable or recoverable for the year plus or minus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the year. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position, or the statute of limitations concerning the uncertain tax position lapses. The Company classifies interest and penalties due to taxing authorities as income taxes. Stock-Based Compensation The Company measures stock-based awards granted to selected employees and directors at fair value as of the date of grant. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the entire stock-based award. Forfeitures of stock-based awards are recognized as they occur. Upon exercise, stock-based awards are settled through the issuance of common shares and are therefore treated as equity awards. Revenue Recognition The Company manufactures and sells food and beverage products to grocery retailers and club stores, foodservice operators, branded food companies, and food manufacturers. The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied, which is upon the transfer of control of the contracted goods. Except for goods sold under bill-and-hold arrangements, control is transferred when title and physical possession of the product transfers to the customer, which is at the point in time that product is shipped from the Company's facilities or delivered to a specified destination, depending on the terms of the contract, and the Company has a present right to payment. Under bill-and-hold arrangements, whereby the Company bills a customer for product to be delivered at a later date, control typically transfers when the product is ready for physical transfer to the customer, and the Company has a present right to payment. The Company does not typically grant customers a general right of return for goods transferred but will generally accept returns of product for quality-related issues. A performance obligation is a promise within a contract to transfer distinct goods to the customer. A contract with a customer may involve multiple products and/or multiple delivery dates, with the transfer of each product at each delivery date being considered a distinct performance obligation, as each of the Company's products has standalone utility to the customer. In these cases, the contract's transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on relative standalone selling prices and recognized as revenue when each individual product is transferred to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring the goods. Consideration is typically determined based on a fixed unit price for the quantity of product transferred. Certain contracts include rebates and other forms of variable consideration. For contracts involving variable consideration, the Company estimates the transaction price based on the amount of consideration to which it expects to be entitled. These estimates are determined based on historical experience and the expected outcome of the variable consideration, and are updated as new information becomes available, including actual claims paid, which indicate an estimate is not indicative of the expected results. Changes to these estimates are recorded in the period the adjustment is identified. The Company's contracts do not typically include any significant payment terms, as payment is normally due shortly after the time of transfer. Revenue contracts are typically represented by short-term, binding purchase orders from customers, identifying the quantity and pricing for products to be transferred. Customer purchase orders may be issued under long-term master supply arrangements. On their own, these master supply arrangements are typically not considered contracts for purposes of revenue recognition, as they do not create enforceable rights and obligations regarding the quantity, pricing, or timing of goods to be transferred; however, certain master supply agreements impose minimum purchase obligations on the part of the customers, which is considered a form of variable consideration. Other master supply arrangements provide for the transfer of product on a bill-and-hold basis at the specific request of the customer. As goods are produced under these bill-and-hold arrangements to meet individual customer specifications, they are identifiable as belonging to the customer and cannot be directed to another customer. The timing of the Company's revenue recognition, customer billings and cash collections, does not result in significant unbilled receivables (contract assets) or customer advances (contract liabilities) on the consolidated balance sheet. Contract costs, such as sales commissions, are generally expensed as incurred given the short-term nature of the associated contracts. Advertising Costs Advertising costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Research and Development Costs Research and development costs are expensed as incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The Company's research and development activities are directed towards custom product formulations, packaging innovations, and production process improvements. The Company's research and development expenditures primarily consist of employee-related compensation and supplies, as well as rental costs and depreciation expense related to the Company's innovation center and pilot plant. Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Earnings attributable to common shareholders is computed by deducting dividends and accretion on convertible preferred stock from net earnings. The potential diluted effect of stock options and other stock-based awards is computed using the treasury stock method whereby the weighted-average number of common shares used in the basic earnings per share calculation is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential dilutive common shares had been issued at the beginning of the year. The potential dilutive effect of convertible preferred stock is computed using the if-converted method whereby dividends and accretion on the convertible preferred stock are added back to the numerator, and the common shares resulting from the assumed conversion of the convertible preferred stock are included in the denominator of the diluted earnings per share calculation. Contingencies The Company is subject to loss contingencies, including various legal and regulatory proceedings, and asserted and potential claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Accruals for loss contingencies are recorded when the Company determines that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If the estimate of the amount of the loss is a range and some amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, that amount is accrued as a liability. If no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the minimum amount of the range is accrued as a liability. Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The Company adopted the guidance in ASU 2023-09 on a prospective basis beginning in fiscal 2025 (see note 15). The adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not have any impact of the Company's results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition. Not Yet Adopted In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect that ASU 2024-03 will have on its financial statement disclosures. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which is intended to modernize the accounting for the costs of internal-use software given the evolution of software development. ASU 2025-06 removes all references to project stages throughout Subtopic 350-40 and clarifies the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. The guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and for interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect that ASU 2025-06 will have on its consolidated financial statements. |

2. Discontinued Operations Divestiture of Frozen Fruit On October 12, 2023 (the "Closing Date"), the Company completed the sale of certain assets and liabilities of its frozen fruit business ("Frozen Fruit") to Natures Touch Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V. and Nature's Touch Frozen Fruits, LLC (the "Purchasers") for an estimated aggregate purchase price that comprised (i) cash consideration of $95.3 million; (ii) a short-term note receivable of $10.5 million, which was paid in five consecutive monthly installments of $2.1 million beginning 30 days following the Closing Date; (iii) secured seller promissory notes with a stated principal amount of $20.0 million in the aggregate and due three years from the Closing Date (the "Seller Promissory Notes"); and (iv) the assumption by the Purchasers of $15.7 million of accounts payable and accrued liabilities of Frozen Fruit. The estimated aggregate purchase price was subject to post-closing adjustments based on a determination of the final net working capital as of the Closing Date. In 2024, the parties resolved certain disputed items in connection with the determination of the final net working capital, resulting in a net reduction in the aggregate purchase price in favor of the Purchasers of $5.1 million. The Seller Promissory Notes bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), determined quarterly in advance, plus a margin of 4.00% for the first year and 7.00% for the second and third years. Interest is payable quarterly in-kind. The Seller Promissory Notes mature on October 12, 2026, and outstanding principal and accrued and unpaid interest is payable on the maturity date. Upon initial recognition, the Company determined that the fair value of the Seller Promissory Notes approximated their stated principal amount and no premium or discount was recognized. On the consolidated balance sheet, the principal amount of the Seller Promissory Notes of $20.0 million, together with accumulated accrued and unpaid in-kind interest of $5.1 million and $2.5 million as at January 3, 2026 and December 28, 2024, respectively, is recorded as notes receivable in current assets as at January 3, 2026, and included in other long-term assets as at December 28, 2024. The Seller Promissory Notes are secured by a second-priority lien on certain assets of Frozen Fruit acquired by the Purchasers. As at January 3, 2026 and December 28, 2024, the Company had not recorded any allowance for credit losses related to the Seller Promissory Notes. The table below presents the major components of the results of discontinued operations reported in the consolidated statement of operations for the years ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023. There were no reported results of discontinued operations for the year ended January 3, 2026.

3. Receivables Sales Program On August 28, 2024, the Company entered into a Master Receivables Purchase Agreement, as amended on February 11, 2025 and November 12, 2025 (the "Agreement"), with a third-party financial institution (the "Purchaser"), for the sale of designated trade receivables of certain eligible customers in exchange for cash proceeds (the "Receivables Sales Program"). Under the Receivables Sales Program, the maximum aggregate amount of outstanding receivables that can be sold to the Purchaser at any time is $52.0 million. The Agreement may be terminated by the Purchaser at any time with 30 days' notice. The receivables sold under the Receivables Sales Program are without recourse to the Company for any customer credit risk. The Company does not retain any ongoing financial interest in the receivables sold under the Receivables Sales Program other than cash collection and administrative services. The Company has not recognized any servicing asset or liability as at January 3, 2026, as the fair values of the servicing arrangement and the fees earned are not considered material to the consolidated financial statements. Receivables sold under the Receivables Sales Program are accounted for as sales of financial assets. The sold receivables are derecognized from accounts receivable on the Company's consolidated balance sheet at the time of sale to the Purchaser. For the year ended January 3, 2026, the loss on sale of the sold receivables, representing the discount taken by the Purchaser, amounted to $2.1 million (December 28, 2024 - $0.7 million), which is recorded as other non-operating expense on the consolidated statements of operations. Cash proceeds received from the Purchaser are classified as an operating activity in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The following table summarizes activity related to the Receivables Sales Program:
(1) For the years ended January 3, 2026 and December 28, 2024, the Company recorded increases of $23.6 million and $25.0 million, respectively, to cash flows from operating activities of continuing operations from receivables sold under the Receivables Sales Program, which are reflected in the consolidated statements of cash flows. (2) Cash collected from customers on behalf of but not yet remitted to the Purchaser is included in accounts payable on the consolidated balance sheets, with changes in such obligations reflected as operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows. There are no restrictions under the Agreement on the Company's use of the cash collected prior to the time it is due to be remitted to the Purchaser. |

At the lease commencement date, the Company classifies a lease as a finance lease if it has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from the right-of-use assets, otherwise the lease is classified as an operating lease. The Company's leases have noncancelable lease terms of less than one year to approximately 15 years and typically require fixed monthly rental payments that may be adjusted annually to give effect to inflation. Real estate leases typically provide the Company options to extend the leases for up to 15 years. Finance leases for machinery and equipment typically include nominal purchase options at the end of the lease term that are reasonably certain of being exercised at the lease commencement date. Machinery and equipment operating leases typically include purchase options for the fair market value of the underlying asset at the end of the lease term, which are uncertain of being exercised at the lease commencement date. The following tables present supplemental information related to leases:
(1) Represents repayments under finance leases recorded as a reduction of the lease liability and reported in repayment of long-term debt on the consolidated statements of cash flows. (2) Represents cash advances received by the Company under finance leases for the construction of right-of-use assets controlled by the Company, which is reported in borrowings of long-term debt on the consolidated statements of cash flows.
As at January 3, 2026, the Company had entered into finance lease agreements to provide for up to $69 million of financing, in the aggregate, related to capacity expansion projects at its beverage facility in Midlothian, Texas, and fruit snacks facility in Omak, Washington, which are expected to become operational in 2026. As these finance leases had not commenced as at January 3, 2026, no amount of underlying right-of-use assets, or lease liabilities, were recognized on the consolidated balance sheet as of that date. |

10. Notes Payable
From time to time, the Company finances certain purchases of trade goods and services through third-party extended payables facilities. Under these facilities, third-party intermediaries advance the amount of the scheduled payment to the supplier based on the invoice due date and issue a short-term note payable to the Company for the face amount of the supplier invoice. Interest accrues on the note payable from the contractual payment date of the supplier invoice to the extended due date of the note payable, as specified by the negotiated terms of each facility. The Company does not maintain any form of security with the third-party intermediaries. Proceeds from, and repayments of the notes payable associated with, these facilities are reported as financing cash flows on the Company's consolidated statements of cash flows. Outstanding principal payment obligations to the third-party intermediaries are recorded as notes payable on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. As at January 3, 2026, the Company had no outstanding notes payable. |

11. Short-Term and Long-Term Debt
Scheduled maturities of long-term debt, including finance lease liabilities, are as follows:
Short-Term Debt Line of Credit Facility On June 13, 2025, the Company entered into an Uncommitted Trade Loan Facility Agreement (the "Trade Loan Agreement") with a third-party banking institution (the "Lender") providing for an uncommitted revolving line of credit facility (the "Line of Credit Facility") under which the Company may request, and the Lender may make, at its sole discretion, loans and advances of up to an aggregate amount of $15.0 million to be used solely to finance the purchase, production or sale of broth inventory. The initial maximum term of each individual loan or advance is 180 days, and the Company may request up to a 90-day extension of such initial term, which the Lender may agree to in its sole discretion. Borrowings under the Line of Credit Facility bear interest at SOFR plus a margin of 1.95%. Obligations under the Trade Loan Agreement are secured by a first security lien in favor of the Lender on all broth inventory of the Company and a guarantee from the Company's subsidiary, SunOpta Foods Inc. ("SunOpta Foods"). The Trade Loan Agreement is a continuing agreement and will remain in full effect until 30 days after either the Company or the Lender provides written notice of termination to the other party. As at January 3, 2026, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the Line of Credit Facility. Long-Term Debt Credit Facilities On December 8, 2023, the Company entered into a five-year Credit Agreement (the "Credit Agreement") providing for (i) a $180.0 million term loan credit facility (the "Term Loan Credit Facility") and (ii) an $85.0 million revolving credit facility (the "Revolving Credit Facility" and together with the Term Loan Credit Facility, the "Credit Facilities"). The Revolving Credit Facility includes $30.0 million of borrowing capacity available for letters of credit and provides for borrowings of up to $10.0 million on same-day notice including in the form of swingline loans. As at January 3, 2026, $4.6 million in letters of credit were issued but undrawn under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Credit Facilities mature on December 8, 2028. Outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Facility as at January 3, 2026, are repayable in quarterly principal installments of $3.4 million from the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2026 to the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2027, and $4.5 million from the fiscal quarter ending March 31, 2028 to the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2028, with the remaining principal balance of $121.5 million due on the maturity date. Borrowings under the Credit Facilities bear interest at a margin over various reference rates, including a base rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and SOFR, selected at the option of the Company. The margin for the Credit Facilities is set quarterly based on the consolidated total net leverage ratio for the preceding fiscal quarter and will range from 1.00% to 2.25% with respect to base rate loans and from 2.00% to 3.25% for SOFR loans. For the year ended January 3, 2026, the weighted-average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facilities was 7.25%. In addition, the Company is required to pay an undrawn fee under the Revolving Credit Facility quarterly based on the consolidated total net leverage ratio for the preceding fiscal quarter ranging from 0.20% to 0.40% on the undrawn revolving commitments thereunder. The Company is also required to pay customary letter of credit fees, to the extent letters of credit are issued and outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility. All obligations under the Credit Facilities are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and substantially all of the Company's existing and future direct and indirect wholly-owned material restricted subsidiaries organized in the U.S. and Canada (the "Subsidiary Guarantors") and, subject to certain exceptions and qualifications, such obligations are secured by first priority security interest in substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets of the Company and Subsidiary Guarantors. The Credit Facilities contain a number of covenants that, among other things, restrict, subject to certain exceptions, the Company's ability to: create liens on assets; sell assets and enter into sale and leaseback transactions; pay dividends, prepay contractually subordinated indebtedness and make other restricted payments; incur additional indebtedness and make guarantees; make investments, loans or advances, including acquisitions; engage in certain transactions with affiliates; fundamentally change the character of the Company's business; enter into contractual obligations that restrict the ability of the Company or any Subsidiary Guarantor to grant a lien on its assets in favor of the lenders and other secured creditors under the Credit Facilities; and engage in mergers or consolidations. In addition, the Company is required to (i) maintain a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.20 to 1.00 as of the end of each quarterly test period and (ii) maintain a maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio of 3.50 to 1.00 for each quarterly test period for the fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2025 and thereafter; provided that, if the Company consummates an acquisition for consideration in excess of $50 million in any quarterly test period, then the maximum consolidated total net leverage ratio may, at the election of the Company (on no more than two occasions), be increased to 4.00 to 1.00 for the end of the four succeeding quarterly test periods. The Credit Facilities also contain certain customary affirmative covenants and events of default. As at January 3, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all covenants of the Credit Agreement. |

(collectively, "Oaktree"). The aggregate liquidation preference of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock is $15.2 million, or approximately $1,015 per share. On April 17, 2024, the Company, SunOpta Foods and Oaktree entered into an Amending Agreement related to the elimination of the dividend rights attached to the Series B-1 Preferred Stock effective from and after December 31, 2023. The Series B-1 Preferred Stock previously paid a cumulative dividend of 8.0% per year that could be paid in-kind or in cash at the Company's option. At any time, Oaktree may exchange the Series B-1 Preferred Stock, in whole or in part, into the number of common shares of the Company equal to, per share of Series B-1 Preferred Stock, the quotient of the liquidation preference divided by the exchange price of $2.50, which equated to 6,089,333 equivalent common shares as at January 3, 2026. At any time, SunOpta Foods may cause Oaktree to exchange all of their shares of Series B-1 Preferred Stock if the volume-weighted average price of the common shares during the then preceding 20 trading day period is greater than 200% of the exchange price then in effect. In addition, SunOpta Foods may redeem all of the Series B-1 Preferred Stock at any time for an amount per share equal to the value of the liquidation preference at such time. As at January 3, 2026, the Company had 2,932,453 Special Shares, Series 2 issued and outstanding, all of which are held by Oaktree. The Special Shares, Series 2, with a par value of $0.00001 per share, serve as a mechanism for attaching exchanged voting rights to the Series B-1 Preferred Stock and entitle the holder thereof to one vote per Special Share, Series 2 on all matters submitted to a vote of the holder of the common shares, voting together as a single class, subject to certain exemptions. As a result of a permanent voting cap, the number of Special Shares, Series 2 issued to Oaktree at any time, when taken together with any other voting securities Oaktree then controls, cannot exceed 19.99% of the votes eligible to be cast by all security holders of the Company. |

14. Stock-Based Compensation On May 28, 2013, the Company's shareholders approved the 2013 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Stock Incentive Plan"), which permits the grant of a variety of stock-based awards, including stock options, restricted stock units ("RSUs") and performance share units ("PSUs") to selected employees and directors of the Company. As at January 3, 2026, 1,895,341 securities remained available for issuance under the Stock Incentive Plan. Additionally, on January 2, 2024, the Company granted special one-time awards of 144,404 RSUs, 288,808 PSUs and 230,804 stock options to Brian Kocher in connection with his appointment as the Company's Chief Executive Officer effective January 2, 2024. On March 13, 2024, the Company granted Mr. Kocher an additional 74,000 RSUs, equal to the number of common shares of the Company purchased by Mr. Kocher on the open market within the 75-day period after his employment began. Stock options, RSUs and PSUs granted under the Stock Incentive Plan, together with the corresponding special one-time awards granted to Mr. Kocher, are reflected in the tables below. For the years ended January 3, 2026, December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, stock-based compensation of $7.4 million, $11.2 million and $12.4 million, respectively, was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. Stock Options Stock options granted to employees during the three-year period ended January 3, 2026, vest ratably on each of the first through third anniversaries of the grant date and expire on the tenth anniversary of the grant date. Stock options granted by the Company contain an exercise price that is equal to the closing market price of the Company's common shares on the day prior to the grant date. Any consideration paid on the exercise of stock options is credited to capital stock. The following table summarizes stock option activity for the year ended January 3, 2026:
The total intrinsic value of stock options exercised during the year ended January 3, 2026 was $0.6 million. The following table summarizes non-vested stock option activity during the year ended January 3, 2026:
The weighted-average grant-date fair values of all stock options granted in the years ended January 3, 2026, December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, were $2.39, $3.85 and $3.87, respectively, using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following assumptions:
(a) Determined based on expected annual dividend yield at the time of grant. (b) Determined based on historical volatility of the Company's common shares over the expected life of the option. (c) Determined based on the yield on U.S. Treasury zero-coupon issues with maturity dates equal to the expected life of the option. (d) Determined based on the mid-point of vesting (one through three years) and expiration (10 years). The Company has used the simplified method to determine the expected life of options due to insufficient historical exercise data to provide a reasonable basis to estimate the expected life. Total compensation costs related to non-vested stock option awards not yet recognized as an expense was $1.6 million as at January 3, 2026, which will be amortized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 1.8 years. The following table summarizes stock options outstanding and exercisable as at January 3, 2026:
Restricted Stock Units RSUs granted to employees vest ratably on each of the first through third anniversaries of the grant date and RSUs granted to directors vest 100% on the first anniversary of the grant date. Each vested RSU entitles the employee or director to receive one common share of the Company without payment of additional consideration. Non-employee directors may elect to defer receipt of common shares until their departure from the Board of Directors. The weighted-average grant-date fair values of all RSUs granted in the years ended January 3, 2026, December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, were $4.93, $6.17 and $5.88, respectively, based on the closing price of the Company's common shares on the grant dates. The following table summarizes non-vested RSU activity during the year ended January 3, 2026:
The total intrinsic value of RSUs that vested during the year ended January 3, 2026 was $2.7 million. Total compensation costs related to non-vested RSU awards not yet recognized as an expense was $3.2 million as at January 3, 2026, which will be amortized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 1.7 years. Performance Share Units Performance Conditions The vesting of PSUs granted to employees under the Company's annual Short-Term Incentive Plan ("STIP") is dependent on the Company achieving a predetermined measure of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. For PSUs granted to employees under the Company's 2025 and 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plans ("LTIP"), the vesting of one-half of the PSUs is contingent on the achievement of compound annual growth rate ("CAGR") benchmarks for revenue during the applicable three-year performance period commencing on January 1 of the year of grant, and the vesting of the other one-half of the PSUs is contingent on the achievement of return on invested capital ("ROIC") benchmarks within the same performance period. The percentage of vested LTIP PSUs may range from 0% to 200% based on the Company's achievement of the predetermined CAGR and ROIC benchmarks. Each vested performance condition PSU entitles the employee to receive one common share of the Company without payment of additional consideration, subject to the employee's continued employment through the vesting date. The weighted-average grant-date fair values of performance condition PSUs granted during the years ended January 3, 2026, December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, were $4.61, $6.49 and $6.96, respectively, based on the closing price of the Company's common shares on the grant dates. The following table summarizes non-vested performance condition PSU activity during the year ended January 3, 2026:
The total intrinsic value of performance condition PSUs that vested during the year ended January 3, 2026 was $2.2 million. Each reporting period, the number of unvested performance condition PSUs that are expected to vest is redetermined and the aggregate grant-date fair value of the redetermined number of PSUs is amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining requisite service period less amounts previously recognized. As at January 3, 2026, the compensation cost not yet recognized as an expense for these PSUs that are expected to vest was $2.4 million, which will be amortized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 1.7 years. Market Conditions The vesting of PSUs granted to employees under the Company's 2023 LTIP, and the special one-time PSUs granted to Mr. Kocher in 2024, are dependent on the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR") performance relative to food and beverage companies in a designated index during a three-year performance period commencing on January 1 of the year of grant, and the employee's continued employment with the Company through the vesting dates. The TSR for the Company and each of the companies in the designated index are calculated at the end of the applicable three-year performance period using a 20-trading day average closing price as of December 31. The percentage of vested PSUs may range from 0% to 200% based on the Company's achievement of predetermined TSR thresholds. Each vested market condition PSU entitles the employee to receive one common share of the Company without payment of additional consideration. The grant-date fair values of market condition PSUs granted in the years ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, were $7.73 and $7.00, respectively, using a Monte Carlo valuation model with the following assumptions:
(a) Determined based on the historical volatility of the Company's common shares over the performance period of the PSUs. (b) Determined based on U.S. Treasury yields with a remaining term equal to the performance period of the PSUs. (c) Determined based on the performance period of the PSUs. The following table summarized non-vested market condition PSU activity during the year ended January 3, 2026:
The total intrinsic value of market condition PSUs that vested during the year ended January 3, 2026 was $1.4 million. Total compensation costs related to non-vested market condition PSUs not yet recognized as an expense was $0.9 million as at January 3, 2026, which will be amortized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 1.2 years. Employee Stock Purchase Plan The Company maintains an Employee Stock Purchase Plan whereby employees can purchase common shares of the Company through payroll deductions. For the year ended January 3, 2026, the Company's employees purchased 85,431 common shares (December 28, 2024 - 84,194; December 30, 2023 - 120,666) for total proceeds of $0.5 million (December 28, 2024 - $0.4 million; December 30, 2023 - $0.6 million). As at January 3, 2026, 255,941 common shares remained available to be granted under this plan. |

Tax Attributes The following table details the Company's tax attributes as at January 3, 2026, for which it has recorded deferred tax assets:
Undistributed Earnings As the undistributed earnings of the Company's non-Canadian subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely reinvested, no provision for deferred taxes has been provided thereon. Uncertain Tax Positions For the years ended January 3, 2026, December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, the Company did not identify any material uncertain tax positions or recognize any related tax benefits. The Company believes it has adequately examined its tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return; however, amounts asserted by taxing authorities could differ from the Company's positions. Accordingly, additional provisions on federal, provincial, state, and foreign tax-related matters could be recorded in the future as revised estimates are made or the underlying matters are settled or otherwise resolved. Tax Assessments The number of years with open tax audits varies depending on the tax jurisdiction. The Company's major taxing jurisdictions are the U.S. (including multiple states) and Canada (Ontario). The Company's 2021 through 2024 tax years (and any tax year for which available non-capital loss carryforwards were generated up to the amount of non-capital loss carryforwards) remain subject to examination for U.S. federal tax purposes, and tax years 2018 through 2024 remain subject to examination for Canadian federal tax purposes. There are other ongoing audits in various other jurisdictions that are not considered material to the Company's consolidated financial statements. Pillar Two Taxation The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development has introduced the Pillar Two framework, which establishes a global minimum corporate tax rate of 15% for multinational enterprises with consolidated annual revenues of €750 million or more ("Pillar Two"). During 2024, Canada enacted legislation to adopt Pillar Two effective for fiscal years beginning on or after December 31, 2023. For the years ended January 3, 2026 and December 28, 2024, the incorporation of Pillar Two did not have a material impact on the Company's effective tax rate. |

| Earnings (Loss) Per Share [Text Block] |
16. Earnings (Loss) Per Share Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share were calculated as follows (shares in thousands):
(1) For the year ended January 3, 2026, it was more dilutive to assume the Series B-1 Preferred Stock was exchanged into common shares and, therefore, the numerator of the diluted loss per share calculation was adjusted to exclude the accretion on the Series B-1 Preferred Stock and the denominator was adjusted to include the 6,089,333 common shares issuable on an if-converted basis. For the years ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, it was more dilutive to the loss per share from continuing operations to assume the Series B-1 Preferred Stock was not exchanged into common shares. (2) For the years ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, 1,026,759 and 1,273,093 potential common shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share due to their effect of reducing the loss per share from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders. Dilutive potential common shares consist of stock options, RSUs, and certain contingently issuable PSUs. For the years ended January 3, 2026, December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, stock options and RSUs to purchase or receive 1,275,099, 1,238,722 and 2,192,677 potential common shares, respectively, were anti-dilutive because the assumed proceeds exceeded the average market price of the common shares for the respective periods. |

18. Commitments and Contingencies Legal Proceedings Various current and potential claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business are pending against the Company. The Company believes it has established adequate accruals for liabilities that are probable and reasonably estimable that may be incurred in connection with any such currently pending matter. In the Company's opinion, the eventual resolution of such matters, either individually or in the aggregate, is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. However, litigation is inherently unpredictable and resolutions or dispositions of claims or lawsuits by settlement or otherwise could have an adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, and cash flows for the reporting period in which any such resolution or disposition occurs. U.S. Customs and Border Protection Matter On February 3, 2025, the Company delivered a voluntary disclosure letter to U.S. Customs and Border Protection ("CBP") regarding the tariff classification of certain fruit snack products produced at the Company's Niagara, Ontario, facility. The Company disclosed to CBP that a revised tariff classification should have been utilized for previously reported shipments, resulting in the underpayment of duties to CBP for the period from January 2022 to December 2024. The Company submitted its final report to CBP on April 3, 2025. As at January 3, 2026 and December 28, 2024, the Company recognized $5.2 million and $7.4 million, respectively, in accounts payable on the consolidated balance sheets, for the duties owed and interest thereon, net of payments made to CBP. As the matter remains subject to review by CBP, it is possible that the actual amount of duties and interest owed may differ from the amount presently accrued by the Company, and CBP may assess additional fines, penalties or enact other measures. Product Withdrawal In the second quarter of 2024, the Company conducted a voluntary withdrawal from customers of certain batches of aseptically-packaged products that may have had the potential for non-pathogenic microbial contamination. None of the withdrawn product made it into the consumer marketplace. For the year ended December 28, 2024, the Company recognized direct costs related to the withdrawal of $2.1 million, net of expected insurance recoveries, in cost of goods sold in the consolidated statement of operations. The Company is seeking to recover a portion of the withdrawal-related costs through its insurance coverage, and such recoveries are recorded in the period in which the recoveries are determined to be probable of realization. During 2025, the Company received partial insurance proceeds of $3.0 million related to the withdrawal. As at January 3, 2026, remaining expected insurance recoveries of $4.7 million (December 28, 2024 - $7.6 million) were included in prepaid expenses and other current assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Environmental Laws The Company believes that, with respect to both its operations and real property, it is in material compliance with current environmental laws. Based on known existing conditions and the Company's experience in complying with emerging environmental issues, the Company is of the view that future costs relating to environmental compliance will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position, but there can be no assurance that unforeseen changes in the laws or enforcement policies of relevant governmental bodies, the discovery of changed conditions on the Company's real property or in its operations, or changes in the use of such properties and any related site restoration requirements, will not result in the incurrence of significant costs. |

| Segment Information [Text Block] |
19. Segment Information Description of Operating and Reportable Segment, Identification of Chief Operating Decision Maker, and Measures of Segment Profit or Loss and Segment Assets The Company manages its continuing operations on a company-wide basis, rather than at a product category or business unit level, thereby making determinations as to the allocation of resources as one operating and reportable segment. The Company's Chief Executive Officer, who has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM"), is supported by a centralized management team based on functional area, including sales, marketing, supply chain, research and development, and quality assurance, as well as finance, legal, information technology, and administration. Only the CODM has overall responsibility and accountability for the profitability and cash flows of the Company. Using financial information at the consolidated level, including corporate and non-operating costs and expenses, the CODM makes key operating decisions, including approving annual operating plans, expanding into new markets or product categories, pursuing business acquisitions or divestitures, and initiating major capital expenditure programs. In addition, the CODM determines the allocation of resources (including personnel, productive assets, and financial resources) and capital investments to optimize operations and maximize opportunities for the Company as a whole without regard to specific product categories or business units. The CODM also uses consolidated information to establish company-wide incentive compensation targets. The measure of segment profit or loss utilized by the CODM is earnings (loss) from continuing operations as reported on the Company's consolidated statements of operations. The CODM uses this measure of segment profit or loss to assess actual performance relative to budget and considers budget-to-actual variances when making decisions about reallocations of personnel or capital resources from those considered by the annual operating plan. The significant segment-level expense information provided to the CODM is consistent with the Company's consolidated statements of operations, as supplemented by the specified expense items disclosed in the table below. The measure of segment assets is the same as total assets reported on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. The accounting policies of the Company's operating and reportable segment are the same as those described in the Company's summary of significant accounting policies (see note 1). Disaggregation of Revenue The majority of the Company's products are shelf-stable packaged food and beverage products and share similar customers and distribution. The principal products that comprise the Company's product categories are as follows:
Revenue disaggregated by product category is as follows:
(1) On March 4, 2024, the Company completed the sale of its smoothie bowl product line and exited the category. Specified Expense Items The following table presents details of specified expenses provided to the CODM and included in earnings (loss) from continuing operations:
Geographic Information Revenues from external customers are attributed to countries based on the location of the customer. Revenues from external customers by geographic area for the years ended January 3, 2026, December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023 were as follows:
Long-lived assets consist of property, plant and equipment, net of accumulated depreciation, and operating lease right-of-use assets, which are attributed to countries based on the physical location of the assets. Long-lived assets by geographic area as at January 3, 2026 and December 28, 2024 were as follows:
Major Customers One customer accounted for 32%, 32% and 35% of the Company's consolidated revenues for the years ended January 3, 2026, December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively. No other customer accounted for 10% or more of the Company's consolidated revenues in any of those years. |

| Cybersecurity Risk Management Processes for Assessing, Identifying, and Managing Threats [Text Block] |
Our cybersecurity program is strategically crafted to achieve the paramount goals of identifying, protecting, detecting, and responding to all potential risks and threats. Employing a defense-in-depth strategy, we proactively identify, investigate, and resolve vulnerabilities and security incidents in a timely manner. Continuous improvement is integral to our cybersecurity approach. Regular assessments conducted against national security standards, together with annual internal and external penetration testing performed by a third-party security firm, allow us to quantify our program's effectiveness. The insights gained from these assessments serve as a foundation for continuous improvement efforts. Outcomes are reported to our Audit Committee for transparency and accountability. We rely on services from a variety of third-party providers to supply things such as cloud storage and networks. On an annual basis, we review these providers to assess their risk profiles. We rely on these third parties to have their own cybersecurity programs commensurate with their risk, and we cannot ensure in all circumstances that their efforts will be successful. Impact of Cybersecurity Risks and Threats Despite facing directed attacks, our systems have withstood such challenges without material interruptions to our business operations. As of the date of this filing, we have not identified any cybersecurity threats or incidents that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. However, there can be no assurance that we, or our third-party business partners or service providers, will not experience a cybersecurity threat or incident in the future that could materially adversely affect our business strategy, results of operations, or financial condition. Recognizing the potential impact of significant disruptions, we remain steadfast in our commitment to fortify our systems against evolving threats. Any significant disruption to our ability to transact business could adversely affect our business performance as well as our reputation.

| Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |||||||||||
| Basis of Presentation [Policy Text Block] |
Basis of Presentation These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SunOpta Inc. and those of its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") and have been prepared by the Company in United States ("U.S.") dollars and in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"). All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation. |
||||||||||
| 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. Fiscal year 2025 was a 53-week period ending on January 3, 2026, and fiscal years 2024 and 2023 were each 52-week periods ending on December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, respectively. Fiscal year 2026 will be a 52-week period ending on January 2, 2027, with quarterly periods ending on April 4, 2026, July 4, 2026, and October 3, 2026. |
||||||||||
| Use of Estimates [Policy Text Block] |
Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. These estimates and assumptions require judgment on the part of management and are based on the Company's historical experience and various other factors that are believed to be reasonable in the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates. |
||||||||||
| Fair Value [Policy Text Block] |
Fair Value Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (that is, an exit price). Fair value measurements are estimated based on inputs categorized as follows:
When measuring fair value, the Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs. |
||||||||||
| Foreign Currency Transactions [Policy Text Block] |
Foreign Currency Transactions Gains or losses resulting from transactions denominated in foreign currencies are included in foreign exchange gain/loss on the consolidated statements of operations. |
||||||||||
| Cash and Cash Equivalents [Policy Text Block] |
Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and short-term deposits with an original maturity of 90 days or less. The Company places its cash and cash equivalents with institutions of high creditworthiness. |
||||||||||
| Restricted Cash [Policy Text Block] |
Restricted Cash Restricted cash consists of cash that is legally restricted as to withdrawal or usage. |
||||||||||
| Accounts Receivable [Policy Text Block] |
Accounts Receivable Trade accounts receivable are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. The allowance for credit losses is an estimate of the amount of probable losses in existing accounts receivable. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and believes that its accounts receivable credit risk exposure is limited. The Company closely monitors receivable balances and estimates an allowance for credit losses based on historical collection experience, and account aging analysis and trends, and evaluates the adequacy of the allowance each reporting period, considering individual customer account reviews, write-offs recorded in the period, sales forecasts and trends, and current and expected economic and customer-specific conditions. Account balances are charged off against the allowance when the Company determines the receivable will not be recovered. As at January 3, 2026, two long-term customers represented approximately 34% and 18%, respectively, of the Company's consolidated accounts receivable balance. The Company does not believe it is exposed to any significant credit risks with respect to these customers. |
||||||||||
| Inventories [Policy Text Block] |
Inventories Inventories are valued at the lower of cost and net realizable value on a first-in, first-out basis. Shipping and handling costs are included in cost of goods sold on the consolidated statements of operations. |
||||||||||
| Property, Plant and Equipment [Policy Text Block] |
Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant and equipment assets are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Cost includes capitalized interest on borrowings during the construction of major capital projects. Depreciation begins when an asset is ready for its intended use. Property, plant and equipment assets, other than land, are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets, as follows:
|
||||||||||
| Leases [Policy Text Block] |
Leases At the lease commencement date, the Company recognizes a right-of-use lease asset for an amount equal to the lease liability, less any lease incentives. The lease liability is determined based on the present value of future lease payments over the lease term. The lease term includes the noncancellable term of the lease, together with periods covered by options to extend the lease that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise. The discount rate used to determine the present value of the future lease payments is the implicit rate in the lease if readily determinable. When that rate is not readily determinable, the Company applies its incremental borrowing rate, which its estimated using relevant interest rate yield curves and credit spreads derived from available market data. The Company excludes non-lease components in determining the future lease payments. |
||||||||||
| Intangible Assets [Policy Text Block] |
Intangible Assets The Company's finite-lived intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which are 15 years for brand names, 20 years for customer relationships, and nine years for other intangible assets. |
||||||||||
| Impairment of Long-Lived Assets [Policy Text Block] |
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company reviews its long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. The carrying amount of a long-lived asset is not recoverable if it exceeds the sum of the undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the asset. If the carrying amount of an asset is not recoverable, the fair value of the asset is determined typically using an income approach (discounted cash flow analysis). An impairment loss is recognized in earnings for any excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value. |
||||||||||
| Goodwill [Policy Text Block] |
Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess in a business combination of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired. Goodwill is not amortized but is instead tested for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually, or whenever events or circumstances change between the annual impairment tests that would indicate the carrying amount of goodwill may be impaired. The Company performs its annual test for goodwill impairment in the fourth quarter of each fiscal year. The Company can elect to qualitatively assess goodwill for impairment if it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value. If the Company elects to quantitatively assess goodwill, or it is not more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit exceeds its carrying value, the Company estimates the fair value of each of its reporting units using an income approach (discounted cash flow method). Goodwill impairment charges are recognized based on the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value. Based on its qualitative assessment, the Company determined that goodwill was not impaired as at January 3, 2026. Prior to fiscal 2019, the Company recognized accumulated goodwill impairment losses of $213.8 million. |
||||||||||
| Debt Issuance Costs [Policy Text Block] |
Debt Issuance Costs Costs incurred in connection with obtaining debt financing are deferred and amortized over the term of the financing arrangement. Costs incurred to secure revolving credit facilities are recorded in other long-term assets. All other debt issuance costs are recorded as a direct deduction from the related debt liability. |
||||||||||
| Income Taxes [Policy Text Block] |
Income Taxes The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and carryforwards, and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. A temporary difference is the difference between the financial statement and tax basis of an asset or liability. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are computed based on enacted tax rates. The effect of changes in tax rates and laws is recognized in the period of enactment. Valuation allowances are recorded to reduce deferred tax assets when it is more likely than not that a tax benefit will not be realized. Income tax expense or benefit is the income taxes payable or recoverable for the year plus or minus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the year. A tax benefit from an uncertain tax position is recognized if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position, or the statute of limitations concerning the uncertain tax position lapses. The Company classifies interest and penalties due to taxing authorities as income taxes. |
||||||||||
| Stock Based Compensaion [Policy Text Block] |
Stock-Based Compensation The Company measures stock-based awards granted to selected employees and directors at fair value as of the date of grant. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the entire stock-based award. Forfeitures of stock-based awards are recognized as they occur. Upon exercise, stock-based awards are settled through the issuance of common shares and are therefore treated as equity awards. |
||||||||||
| Revenue Recognition [Policy Text Block] |
Revenue Recognition The Company manufactures and sells food and beverage products to grocery retailers and club stores, foodservice operators, branded food companies, and food manufacturers. The Company recognizes revenue when performance obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied, which is upon the transfer of control of the contracted goods. Except for goods sold under bill-and-hold arrangements, control is transferred when title and physical possession of the product transfers to the customer, which is at the point in time that product is shipped from the Company's facilities or delivered to a specified destination, depending on the terms of the contract, and the Company has a present right to payment. Under bill-and-hold arrangements, whereby the Company bills a customer for product to be delivered at a later date, control typically transfers when the product is ready for physical transfer to the customer, and the Company has a present right to payment. The Company does not typically grant customers a general right of return for goods transferred but will generally accept returns of product for quality-related issues. A performance obligation is a promise within a contract to transfer distinct goods to the customer. A contract with a customer may involve multiple products and/or multiple delivery dates, with the transfer of each product at each delivery date being considered a distinct performance obligation, as each of the Company's products has standalone utility to the customer. In these cases, the contract's transaction price is allocated to each performance obligation based on relative standalone selling prices and recognized as revenue when each individual product is transferred to the customer. Revenue is measured as the amount of consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for transferring the goods. Consideration is typically determined based on a fixed unit price for the quantity of product transferred. Certain contracts include rebates and other forms of variable consideration. For contracts involving variable consideration, the Company estimates the transaction price based on the amount of consideration to which it expects to be entitled. These estimates are determined based on historical experience and the expected outcome of the variable consideration, and are updated as new information becomes available, including actual claims paid, which indicate an estimate is not indicative of the expected results. Changes to these estimates are recorded in the period the adjustment is identified. The Company's contracts do not typically include any significant payment terms, as payment is normally due shortly after the time of transfer. Revenue contracts are typically represented by short-term, binding purchase orders from customers, identifying the quantity and pricing for products to be transferred. Customer purchase orders may be issued under long-term master supply arrangements. On their own, these master supply arrangements are typically not considered contracts for purposes of revenue recognition, as they do not create enforceable rights and obligations regarding the quantity, pricing, or timing of goods to be transferred; however, certain master supply agreements impose minimum purchase obligations on the part of the customers, which is considered a form of variable consideration. Other master supply arrangements provide for the transfer of product on a bill-and-hold basis at the specific request of the customer. As goods are produced under these bill-and-hold arrangements to meet individual customer specifications, they are identifiable as belonging to the customer and cannot be directed to another customer. The timing of the Company's revenue recognition, customer billings and cash collections, does not result in significant unbilled receivables (contract assets) or customer advances (contract liabilities) on the consolidated balance sheet. Contract costs, such as sales commissions, are generally expensed as incurred given the short-term nature of the associated contracts. |

| Earnings Per Share [Policy Text Block] |
Earnings Per Share Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing earnings attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the year. Earnings attributable to common shareholders is computed by deducting dividends and accretion on convertible preferred stock from net earnings. The potential diluted effect of stock options and other stock-based awards is computed using the treasury stock method whereby the weighted-average number of common shares used in the basic earnings per share calculation is increased to include the number of additional common shares that would have been outstanding if the potential dilutive common shares had been issued at the beginning of the year. The potential dilutive effect of convertible preferred stock is computed using the if-converted method whereby dividends and accretion on the convertible preferred stock are added back to the numerator, and the common shares resulting from the assumed conversion of the convertible preferred stock are included in the denominator of the diluted earnings per share calculation. |
||||||||||
| Contingencies [Policy Text Block] |
Contingencies The Company is subject to loss contingencies, including various legal and regulatory proceedings, and asserted and potential claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. Accruals for loss contingencies are recorded when the Company determines that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If the estimate of the amount of the loss is a range and some amount within the range appears to be a better estimate than any other amount within the range, that amount is accrued as a liability. If no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the minimum amount of the range is accrued as a liability. |

| Recent Accounting Pronouncements [Policy Text Block] |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Adopted In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide disclosure of specific categories in the rate reconciliation, as well as disclosure of income taxes paid disaggregated by jurisdiction. The Company adopted the guidance in ASU 2023-09 on a prospective basis beginning in fiscal 2025 (see note 15). The adoption of ASU 2023-09 did not have any impact of the Company's results of operations, cash flows, or financial condition. Not Yet Adopted In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses, which requires disclosure, in the notes to financial statements, of specified information about certain costs and expenses. The guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect that ASU 2024-03 will have on its financial statement disclosures. In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software, which is intended to modernize the accounting for the costs of internal-use software given the evolution of software development. ASU 2025-06 removes all references to project stages throughout Subtopic 350-40 and clarifies the threshold entities apply to begin capitalizing costs. The guidance will be effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and for interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the potential effect that ASU 2025-06 will have on its consolidated financial statements. |

For the years ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, it was more dilutive to the loss per share from continuing operations to assume the Series B-1 Preferred Stock was not exchanged into common shares. (2) For the years ended December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, 1,026,759 and 1,273,093 potential common shares were excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share due to their effect of reducing the loss per share from continuing operations attributable to common shareholders. Dilutive potential common shares consist of stock options, RSUs, and certain contingently issuable PSUs. For the years ended January 3, 2026, December 28, 2024 and December 30, 2023, stock options and RSUs to purchase or receive 1,275,099, 1,238,722 and 2,192,677 potential common shares, respectively, were anti-dilutive because the assumed proceeds exceeded the average market price of the common shares for the respective periods. |
