Segment Reporting [Abstract] | |
Business and Geographic Segment Information | Segment Information Our reportable segments are as follows: • Meals & Beverages, which consists of our soup, simple meals and beverages products in retail and foodservice in the U.S. and Canada. The segment includes the following products: Campbell’s condensed and ready-to-serve soups; Swanson broth and stocks; Pacific Foods broth, soups and non-dairy beverages; Prego pasta sauces; Pace Mexican sauces; Campbell’s gravies, pasta, beans and dinner sauces; Swanson canned poultry; V8 juices and beverages; and Campbell’s tomato juice. The segment also includes snacking products in foodservice and Canada; and • Snacks, which consists of Pepperidge Farm cookies*, crackers, fresh bakery and frozen products, including Goldfish crackers*, Snyder’s of Hanover pretzels*, Lance sandwich crackers*, Cape Cod potato chips*, Kettle Brand potato chips*, Late July snacks*, Snack Factory pretzel crisps*, Pop Secret popcorn, Emerald nuts, and other snacking products in retail in the U.S. We refer to the * brands as our "power brands." The segment also includes the retail business in Latin America. We evaluate segment performance before interest, taxes and costs associated with restructuring activities and impairment charges. Unrealized gains and losses on outstanding undesignated commodity hedging activities are excluded from segment operating earnings and are recorded in Corporate as these open positions represent hedges of future purchases. Upon closing of the contracts, the realized gain or loss is transferred to segment operating earnings, which allows the segments to reflect the economic effects of the hedge without exposure to quarterly volatility of unrealized gains and losses. Only the service cost component of pension and postretirement expense is allocated to segments. All other components of expense, including interest cost, expected return on assets, amortization of prior service credits and recognized actuarial gains and losses are reflected in Corporate and not included in segment operating results. Asset information by segment is not discretely maintained for internal reporting or used in evaluating performance.

Restructuring Charges [Abstract] | |
Restructuring Charges | Restructuring Charges and Cost Savings Initiatives Multi-year Cost Savings Initiatives and Snyder's-Lance Cost Transformation Program and Integration Continuing Operations Beginning in fiscal 2015, we implemented initiatives to reduce costs and to streamline our organizational structure. Over the years, we expanded these initiatives by continuing to optimize our supply chain and manufacturing networks, as well as our information technology infrastructure. On March 26, 2018, we completed the acquisition of Snyder's-Lance. Prior to the acquisition, Snyder's-Lance launched a cost transformation program following a comprehensive review of its operations with the goal of significantly improving its financial performance. We continued to implement this program and identified opportunities for additional cost synergies as we integrated Snyder's-Lance. In 2022, we expanded these initiatives as we continue to pursue cost savings by further optimizing our supply chain and manufacturing network and through effective cost management. Cost estimates for these expanded initiatives, as well as timing for certain activities, are continuing to be developed. A summary of the pre-tax charges recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings related to these initiatives is as follows: Three Months Ended (Millions) October 30, 2022 October 31, 2021 Recognized as of October 30, 2022 Restructuring charges $ — $ — $ 264 Administrative expenses 3 2 362 Cost of products sold — 2 84 Marketing and selling expenses — — 14 Research and development expenses — — 4 Total pre-tax charges $ 3 $ 4 $ 728 A summary of the pre-tax costs associated with the initiatives is as follows: (Millions) Recognized as of October 30, 2022 Severance pay and benefits $ 227 Asset impairment/accelerated depreciation 82 Implementation costs and other related costs 419 Total $ 728 The total estimated pre-tax costs for actions that have been identified are approximately $735 million to $740 million and we expect to incur the costs through 2023. These estimates will be updated as the expanded initiatives are developed. We expect the costs for actions that have been identified to date to consist of the following: approximately $230 million in severance pay and benefits; approximately $85 million in asset impairment and accelerated depreciation; and approximately $420 million to $425 million in implementation costs and other related costs. We expect these pre-tax costs to be associated with our segments as follows: Meals & Beverages - approximately 30%; Snacks - approximately 44%; and Corporate - approximately 26%. Of the aggregate $735 million to $740 million of pre-tax costs identified to date, we expect approximately $635 million to $640 million will be cash expenditures. In addition, we expect to invest approximately $450 million in capital expenditures, of which we invested $440 million as of October 30, 2022. We expect to invest in substantially all of the capital expenditures through 2023. The capital expenditures primarily relate to a U.S. warehouse optimization project, improvement of quality, safety and cost structure across the Snyder’s-Lance manufacturing network, implementation of our existing SAP enterprise-resource planning system for Snyder's-Lance, transition of production within our Meals & Beverages manufacturing network, optimization of information technology infrastructure and applications and optimization of the Snyder’s-Lance warehouse and distribution network. A summary of the restructuring activity and related reserves at October 30, 2022, is as follows: (Millions) Severance Pay and Benefits Implementation Costs and Other Related Costs (1) Total Charges Accrued balance at July 31, 2022 $ 7 2023 charges — 3 $ 3 2023 cash payments (2) Accrued balance at October 30, 2022 $ 5 __________________________________ (1) Includes other costs recognized as incurred that are not reflected in the restructuring reserve in the Consolidated Balance Sheet. The costs are included in Administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. Segment operating results do not include restructuring charges, implementation costs and other related costs because we evaluate segment performance excluding such charges.

General Discussion of Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities [Abstract] | |
Financial Instruments | Financial InstrumentsThe principal market risks to which we are exposed are changes in foreign currency exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. In addition, we are exposed to price changes related to certain deferred compensation obligations. In order to manage these exposures, we follow established risk management policies and procedures, including the use of derivative contracts such as swaps, rate locks, options, forwards and commodity futures. We enter into these derivative contracts for periods consistent with the related underlying exposures, and the contracts do not constitute positions independent of those exposures. We do not enter into derivative contracts for speculative purposes and do not use leveraged instruments. Our derivative programs include instruments that qualify for hedge accounting treatment and instruments that are not designated as accounting hedges. Concentration of Credit Risk We are exposed to the risk that counterparties to derivative contracts will fail to meet their contractual obligations. To mitigate counterparty credit risk, we enter into contracts only with carefully selected, leading, credit-worthy financial institutions, and distribute contracts among several financial institutions to reduce the concentration of credit risk. We did not have credit risk-related contingent features in our derivative instruments as of October 30, 2022, or July 31, 2022. We are also exposed to credit risk from our customers. During 2022, our largest customer accounted for approximately 22% of consolidated net sales. Our five largest customers accounted for approximately 47% of our consolidated net sales in 2022. We closely monitor credit risk associated with counterpartie s and customers. Foreign Currency Exchange Risk We are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk, primarily the Canadian dollar, related to intercompany transactions and third-party transactions. We utilize foreign exchange forward purchase and sale contracts to hedge these exposures. The contracts are either designated as cash-flow hedging instruments or are undesignated. We hedge portions of our forecasted foreign currency transaction exposure with foreign exchange forward contracts for periods typically up to 18 months. The notional amount of foreign exchange forward contracts accounted for as cash-flow hedges was $121 million as of October 30, 2022, and $140 million as of July 31, 2022. Changes in the fair value on the portion of the derivative included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness of cash-flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows. For derivatives that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments, the initial fair value of hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness is recognized in earnings under a systematic and rational method over the life of the hedging instrument and is presented in the same statement of earnings line item as the earnings effect of the hedged item. Any difference between the change in the fair value of the hedge components excluded from the assessment of effectiveness and the amounts recognized in earnings is recorded as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). The notional amount of foreign exchange forward contracts that are not designated as accounting hedges was $18 million as of October 30, 2022, and $13 million as of July 31, 2022. Interest Rate Risk We manage our exposure to changes in interest rates by optimizing the use of variable-rate and fixed-rate debt and by utilizing interest rate swaps in order to maintain our variable-to-total debt ratio within targeted guidelines. There were no interest rate swaps outstanding as of October 30, 2022, or July 31, 2022. Commodity Price Risk We principally use a combination of purchase orders and various short- and long-term supply arrangements in connection with the purchase of raw materials, including certain commodities and agricultural products. We also enter into commodity futures, options and swap contracts to reduce the volatility of price fluctuations of wheat, diesel fuel, natural gas, soybean oil, aluminum, cocoa, corn, soybean meal and butter. Commodity futures, options and swap contracts are either designated as cash-flow hedging instruments or are undesignated. We hedge a portion of commodity requirements for periods typically up to 18 months. The notional amount of commodity contracts designated as cash-flow hedges was $3 million as of July 31, 2022. There were no commodity contracts designated as cash-flow hedges as of October 30, 2022. Changes in the fair value on the portion of the derivative included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness of cash-flow hedges are recorded in other comprehensive income (loss), until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows. The notional amount of commodity contracts not designated as accounting hedges was $281 million as of October 30, 2022, and $254 million as of July 31, 2022. The change in fair value on undesignated instruments is recorded in Cost of products sold. We have a supply contract under which prices for certain raw materials are established based on anticipated volume requirements over a twelve-month period. Certain prices under the contract are based in part on certain component parts of the raw materials that are in excess of our needs or not required for our operations, thereby creating an embedded derivative requiring bifurcation. We net settle amounts due under the contract with our counterparty. The notional amount was approximately $15 million as of October 30, 2022, and $39 million as of July 31, 2022. The change in fair value on the embedded derivative is recorded in Cost of products sold. Deferred Compensation Obligation Price Risk We enter into swap contracts which hedge a portion of exposures relating to certain deferred compensation obligations linked to the total return of the Vanguard Extended Market Index Plus Fund, the Vanguard Institutional Index Institutional Plus Fund, the Vanguard Short-Term Bond Index Fund and the Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund. These contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. Unrealized gains (losses) and settlements are included in Administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. We enter into these contracts for periods typically not exceeding 12 months. The notional amounts of the contracts were $50 million as of October 30, 2022, and July 31, 2022. The following table summarizes the fair value of derivative instruments on a gross basis as recorded in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of October 30, 2022, and July 31, 2022: (Millions) Balance Sheet Classification October 30, 2022 July 31, 2022 Asset Derivatives Derivatives designated as hedges: Commodity contracts Other current assets $ — $ 3 Foreign exchange forward contracts Other current assets 7 2 Total derivatives designated as hedges $ 7 $ 5 Derivatives not designated as hedges: Commodity contracts Other current assets $ 13 $ 20 Deferred compensation contracts Other current assets 2 — Total derivatives not designated as hedges $ 15 $ 20 Total asset derivatives $ 22 $ 25 (Millions) Balance Sheet Classification October 30, 2022 July 31, 2022 Liability Derivatives Derivatives not designated as hedges: Commodity contracts Accrued liabilities $ 19 $ 30 Deferred compensation contracts Accrued liabilities — 4 Total derivatives not designated as hedges $ 19 $ 34 Total liability derivatives $ 19 $ 34 We do not offset the fair values of derivative assets and liabilities executed with the same counterparty that are generally subject to enforceable netting agreements. However, if we were to offset and record the asset and liability balances of derivatives on a net basis, the amounts presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of October 30, 2022, and July 31, 2022, would be adjusted as detailed in the following table: October 30, 2022 July 31, 2022 (Millions) Gross Amounts Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet Subject to Netting Agreements Net Amount Gross Amounts Presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheet Gross Amounts Not Offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheet Subject to Netting Agreements Net Amount Total asset derivatives $ 22 $ (12) $ 10 $ 25 $ (17) $ 8 Total liability derivatives $ 19 $ (12) $ 7 $ 34 $ (17) $ 17 We are required to maintain cash margin accounts in connection with funding the settlement of open positions for exchange-traded commodity derivative instruments. Cash margin asset balances of $11 million at October 30, 2022, and $8 million at July 31, 2022, were included in Other current assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Fair Value Measurements
Fair Value Measurements | 3 Months Ended |

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements We categorize financial assets and liabilities based on the following fair value hierarchy: • Level 1: Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability through corroboration with observable market data. • Level 3: Unobservable inputs, which are valued based on our estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. When available, we use unadjusted quoted market prices to measure the fair value and classify such items as Level 1. If quoted market prices are not available, we base fair value upon internally developed models that use current market-based or independently sourced market parameters such as interest rates and currency rates. Included in the fair value of derivative instruments is an adjustment for credit and nonperformance risk. Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis The following tables present our financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of October 30, 2022, and July 31, 2022, consistent with the fair value hierarchy: Fair Value as of October 30, 2022 Fair Value Measurements at October 30, 2022 Using Fair Value Hierarchy Fair Value as of July 31, 2022 Fair Value Measurements at July 31, 2022 Using Fair Value Hierarchy (Millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Assets Foreign exchange forward contracts (1) $ 7 $ — $ 7 $ — $ 2 $ — $ 2 $ — Commodity derivative contracts (2) 13 2 9 2 23 — 19 4 Deferred compensation derivative contracts (3) 2 — 2 — — — — — Deferred compensation investments (4) 1 1 — — 2 2 — — Total assets at fair value $ 23 $ 3 $ 18 $ 2 $ 27 $ 2 $ 21 $ 4 Fair Value as of October 30, 2022 Fair Value Measurements at October 30, 2022 Using Fair Value Hierarchy Fair Value as of July 31, 2022 Fair Value Measurements at July 31, 2022 Using Fair Value Hierarchy (Millions) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Liabilities Commodity derivative contracts (2) $ 19 $ 5 $ 14 $ — $ 30 $ 6 $ 24 $ — Deferred compensation derivative contracts (3) — — — — 4 — 4 — Deferred compensation obligation (4) 99 99 — — 96 96 — — Total liabilities at fair value $ 118 $ 104 $ 14 $ — $ 130 $ 102 $ 28 $ — ___________________________________ (1) Based on observable market transactions of spot currency rates and forward rates. (2) Level 1 and 2 are based on quoted futures exchanges and on observable prices of futures and options transactions in the marketplace. Level 3 is based on unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires management’s own assumptions within an internally developed model. (3) Based on index swap rates. (4) Based on the fair value of the participants’ investments. The following table summarizes the changes in fair value of Level 3 assets and liabilities for the three-month periods ended October 30, 2022, and October 31, 2021: Three Months Ended (Millions) October 30, 2022 October 31, 2021 Fair value at beginning of year $ 4 $ 1 Gains (losses) (1) 3 Settlements (1) (3) Fair value at end of quarter $ 2 $ 1 Fair Value of Financial Instruments The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value. There were $22 million of cash equivalents at October 30, 2022, and $27 million at July 31, 2022. Cash equivalents represent fair value as these highly liquid investments have an original maturity of three months or less. Fair value of cash equivalents is based on Level 2 inputs. The fair value of short- and long-term debt was $4.352 billion at October 30, 2022, and $4.637 billion at July 31, 2022. The carrying value was $4.852 billion at October 30, 2022, and $4.81 billion at July 31, 2022. The fair value of long-term debt is principally estimated using Level 2 inputs based on quoted market prices or pricing models using current market rates. |

Share Repurchases | Share Repurchases In June 2021, the Board authorized an anti-dilutive share repurchase program of up to $250 million (June 2021 program) to offset the impact of dilution from shares issued under our stock compensation programs. The June 2021 program has no expiration date, but it may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Repurchases under the June 2021 program may be made in open-market or privately negotiated transactions. In September 2021, the Board approved a strategic share repurchase program of up to $500 million (September 2021 program). The September 2021 program has no expiration date, but it may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Repurchases under the September 2021 program may be made in open-market or privately negotiated transactions. During the three-month period ended October 30, 2022, we repurchased 859 thousand shares at a cost of $41 million pursuant to our June 2021 program. As of October 30, 2022, approximately $131 million remained available under the June 2021 program and approximately $375 million remained available under the September 2021 program. During the three-month ended October 31, 2021, we repurchased approximately 1.5 million shares at a cost of $63 million. |

Share-Based Payment Arrangement [Abstract] | |
Stock-based Compensation | Stock-based Compensation We provide compensation benefits by issuing stock options, unrestricted stock and restricted stock units (including time-lapse restricted stock units, EPS performance restricted stock units, total shareholder return (TSR) performance restricted stock units and free cash flow (FCF) performance restricted stock units). In 2023, we issued time-lapse restricted stock units, unrestricted stock, TSR performance restricted stock units and EPS performance restricted stock units. We last issued stock options and FCF performance restricted stock units in 2019. In determining stock-based compensation expense, we estimate forfeitures expected to occur. Total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense and tax-related benefits recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings were as follows: Three Months Ended (Millions) October 30, 2022 October 31, 2021 Total pre-tax stock-based compensation expense $ 15 $ 14 Tax-related benefits $ 3 $ 2 The following table summarizes stock option activity as of October 30, 2022: Options Weighted- Weighted- Aggregate (Options in (In years) (Millions) Outstanding at July 31, 2022 1,297 $ 46.04 Granted — $ — Exercised (43) $ 41.01 Terminated — $ — Outstanding at October 30, 2022 1,254 $ 46.22 4.6 $ 9 Exercisable at October 30, 2022 1,254 $ 46.22 4.6 $ 9 The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three-month periods ended October 30, 2022 and October 31, 2021 was not material. We measured the fair value of stock options using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. We expensed stock options on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, except for awards issued to retirement eligible participants, which we expensed on an accelerated basis. As of January 2022, compensation related to stock options was fully expensed. The following table summarizes time-lapse restricted stock units and EPS performance restricted stock units as of October 30, 2022: Units Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value (Restricted stock Nonvested at July 31, 2022 1,946 $ 43.88 Granted 1,111 $ 47.12 Vested (715) $ 45.29 Forfeited (17) $ 43.96 Nonvested at October 30, 2022 2,325 $ 44.99 We determine the fair value of time-lapse restricted stock units based on the quoted price of our stock at the date of grant. We expense time-lapse restricted stock units on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, except for awards issued to retirement-eligible participants, which we expense on an accelerated basis. In 2023 and 2022, we granted EPS performance restricted stock units that will be earned upon the achievement of our adjusted EPS compound annual growth rate goal, measured over a three In 2019, we issued approximately 388 thousand FCF performance restricted stock units for which vesting was contingent upon achievement of free cash flow (defined as Net cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures and certain investing and financing activities) compared to annual operating plan objectives over a three-year period. An annual objective was established each fiscal year for three consecutive years. Performance against these objectives was averaged at the end of the three-year period to determine the number of underlying units that would vest at the end of the three years. The actual number of FCF performance restricted stock units issued at the vesting date could have ranged from 0% to 200% of the initial grant depending on actual performance achieved. The fair value of FCF performance restricted stock units was based upon the quoted price of our stock at the date of grant. We expensed FCF performance restricted stock units over the requisite service period of each objective. We estimated expense based on the number of awards expected to vest. In the first quarter of 2022, recipients of FCF performance restricted stock units earned 167% of the initial grants based upon the average of actual performance achieved during a three-year period ended August 1, 2021. As a result, approximately 158 thousand additional shares were awarded. As of October 31, 2021, there were no FCF performance target grants outstanding. As of October 30, 2022, total remaining unearned compensation related to nonvested time-lapse restricted stock units and EPS performance restricted stock units was $72 million, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining service period of 2.0 years. The fair value of restricted stock units vested during the three-month periods ended October 30, 2022, and October 31, 2021, was $34 million, and $48 million, respectively. The weighted-average grant-date fair value of the restricted stock units granted during the three-month period ended October 31, 2021 was $41.82. The following table summarizes TSR performance restricted stock units as of October 30, 2022: Units Weighted-Average Grant-Date Fair Value (Restricted stock Nonvested at July 31, 2022 1,153 $ 55.63 Granted 296 $ 53.74 Vested (443) $ 63.06 Forfeited (7) $ 51.16 Nonvested at October 30, 2022 999 $ 51.81 We estimated the fair value of TSR performance restricted stock units at the grant date using a Monte Carlo simulation. Assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation were as follows: 2023 2022 Risk-free interest rate 4.29% 0.45% Expected dividend yield 3.09% 3.50% Expected volatility 26.40% 27.43% Expected term 3 years 3 years We recognize compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the service period, except for awards issued to retirement eligible participants, which we expense on an accelerated basis. As of October 30, 2022, total remaining unearned compensation related to TSR performance restricted stock units was $25 million, which will be amortized over the weighted-average remaining service period of 2.0 years. In the first quarter of 2023, recipients of TSR performance restricted stock units earned 100% of the initial grants based upon our TSR ranking in a performance peer group during a three-year period ended July 29, 2022. In the first quarter of 2022, recipients of TSR performance restricted stock units earned 75% of the initial grants based upon our TSR ranking in a performance peer group during a three-year period ended July 30, 2021. The fair value of TSR performance restricted stock units vested during the three-month periods ended October 30, 2022, and October 31, 2021, was $21 million and $8 million, respectively. The grant-date fair value of the TSR performance restricted stock units granted during three-month period ended October 31, 2021, was $45.65. The tax benefits on the exercise of stock options in the three-month periods ended October 30, 2022, and October 31, 2021 were not material. Cash received from the exercise of stock options was $2 million and $1 million for the three-month periods ended October 30, 2022, and October 31, 2021, respectively, and is reflected in cash flows from financing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Regulatory and Litigation Matters We are involved in various pending or threatened legal or regulatory proceedings, including purported class actions, arising from the conduct of business both in the ordinary course and otherwise. Modern pleading practice in the U.S. permits considerable variation in the assertion of monetary damages or other relief. Jurisdictions may permit claimants not to specify the monetary damages sought or may permit claimants to state only that the amount sought is sufficient to invoke the jurisdiction of the trial court. In addition, jurisdictions may permit plaintiffs to allege monetary damages in amounts well exceeding reasonably possible verdicts in the jurisdiction for similar matters. This variability in pleadings, together with our actual experiences in litigating or resolving through settlement numerous claims over an extended period of time, demonstrates to us that the monetary relief which may be specified in a lawsuit or claim bears little relevance to its merits or disposition value. Due to the unpredictable nature of litigation, the outcome of a litigation matter and the amount or range of potential loss at particular points in time is normally difficult to ascertain. Uncertainties can include how fact finders will evaluate documentary evidence and the credibility and effectiveness of witness testimony, and how trial and appellate courts will apply the law in the context of the pleadings or evidence presented, whether by motion practice, or at trial or on appeal. Disposition valuations are also subject to the uncertainty of how opposing parties and their counsel will themselves view the relevant evidence and applicable law. On January 7, 2019, three purported shareholder class action lawsuits pending in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey (the Court) were consolidated under the caption, In re Campbell Soup Company Securities Litigation, Civ. No. 1:18-cv-14385-NLH-JS (the Action). Oklahoma Firefighters Pension and Retirement System was appointed lead plaintiff in the Action and, on March 1, 2019, filed an amended consolidated complaint. The company, Denise Morrison (the company's former President and Chief Executive Officer), and Anthony DiSilvestro (the company's former Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer) are defendants in the Action. The amended consolidated complaint alleges that, in public statements between July 19, 2017 and May 17, 2018, the defendants made materially false and misleading statements and/or omitted material information about the company's business, operations, customer relationships, and prospects, specifically with regard to the Campbell Fresh segment. The amended consolidated complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages and other relief. On April 30, 2019, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended consolidated complaint, which the Court granted on November 30, 2020, with leave to amend the complaint. On January 15, 2021, the plaintiff filed its second amended consolidated complaint. On March 10, 2021 the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the second amended consolidated complaint. On October 11, 2022, the Court granted the defendants’ motion to dismiss the second amended consolidated complaint with prejudice. The plaintiff did not appeal the Court's order dismissing the second amended consolidated complaint with prejudice, bringing this matter to a conclusion. We establish liabilities for litigation and regulatory loss contingencies when information related to the loss contingencies shows both that it is probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. It is possible that some matters could require us to pay damages or make other expenditures or establish accruals in amounts that could not be reasonably estimated as of October 30, 2022. While the potential future charges could be material in a particular quarter or annual period, based on information currently known by us, we do not believe any such charges are likely to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated results of operations or financial condition. Other Contingencies We have provided certain indemnifications in connection with divestitures, contracts and other transactions. Certain indemnifications have finite expiration dates. Liabilities recognized based on known exposures related to such matters were not material at October 30, 2022. |
