Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]  
Derivative instruments Derivative instruments
The Company is exposed to certain market risks such as changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and commodity price fluctuations, which exist as a part of its ongoing business operations. Management uses derivative and nonderivative financial and commodity instruments to manage these risks. Instruments used as hedges must be effective at reducing the risk associated with the exposure being hedged. As a matter of policy, the Company does not engage in trading or speculative hedging transactions.
Derivative instruments are classified on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet based on the contractual maturity of the instrument or the timing of the underlying cash flows of the instrument for derivatives with contractual maturities beyond one year. Any collateral associated with derivative instruments is classified as Other assets or Other current liabilities on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet depending on whether the counterparty collateral is in an asset or liability position. Margin deposits related to exchange-traded commodities are recorded in accounts receivable, net on the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet. On the Unaudited Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows, cash flows associated with derivative instruments are classified according to the nature of the underlying hedged item. Cash flows associated with collateral and margin deposits on exchange-traded commodities are classified as investing cash flows when the collateral account is in an asset position and as financing cash flows when the collateral account is in a liability position.
Total notional amounts of the Company’s derivative instruments as of March 29, 2025 and December 28, 2024 were as follows:

Following is a description of each category in the fair value hierarchy and the financial assets and liabilities of the Company that were included in each category at March 29, 2025 and December 28, 2024, measured on a recurring basis.
Level 1 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market. For the Company, level 1 financial assets and liabilities consist primarily of exchange-traded commodity derivative contracts.
Level 2 – Financial assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices in markets that are not active or model inputs that are observable either directly or indirectly for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. For the Company, level 2 financial assets and liabilities consist of interest rate swaps and over-the-counter commodity and currency contracts.
The Company's calculation of the fair value of the interest rate swaps is derived from a discounted cash flow analysis based on the terms of the contract and interest rate curve. Over-the-counter commodity derivatives are valued using an income approach based on the commodity index prices less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. Foreign currency contracts are valued using an income approach based on forward rates less the contract rate multiplied by the notional amount. The Company’s calculation of the fair value of level 2 financial assets and liabilities takes into consideration the risk of nonperformance, including counterparty credit risk.
The following table presents assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value in the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet on a recurring basis as of March 29, 2025 and December 28, 2024:

Counterparty credit risk concentration and collateral requirements
The Company could incur losses in the event of nonperformance by counterparties to over-the-counter ("OTC") financial and commodity derivatives contracts. Management believes risk of loss with respect to derivative contracts is limited due to the use of master netting agreements with credit-ratings based collateralization requirements for OTC derivatives and the use of exchange-traded commodity contracts. As of March 29, 2025, the Company was not in a material net asset position with any OTC derivatives counterparties.
