Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Commitments and Contingencies	Commitments and Contingencies Litigation We are from time to time involved in legal proceedings and investigations arising in the ordinary course of business, including those relating to employment matters, relationships with clients and contractors, intellectual property disputes, the Calavo acquisition (refer to Note 13 for more information) and other business matters. On October 21, 2024, a former temporary worker placed at the Company’s California packinghouse by a labor contractor utilized by the Company, filed a class action lawsuit in the Superior Court of the State of California for the County of Ventura County against us alleging violations of certain wage and hour laws. Plaintiff seeks class certification, payment of wages earned and owed, liquidated damages, penalties and fees, other damages as set forth in Plaintiff’s lawsuit, and injunctive relief. A related lawsuit under the Private Attorneys General Act (“PAGA”) was also filed on December 16, 2024. On July 30, 2025, the Court granted the parties’ stipulation to dismiss the class action lawsuit and to submit the PAGA matter to mediation. The parties attended mediation on February 25, 2026. No resolution was reached at mediation. The Company intends to file a motion to compel arbitration on the individual PAGA matter. At this time, it is too soon to determine the outcome of the litigation. As a result, the Company has not accrued for any loss contingencies related to these claims because the amount and range of loss, if any, cannot currently be reasonably estimated. On November 6, 2024, the Organics Consumers Association filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia alleging the Company engaged in false and deceptive advertising in violation of the D.C. Consumer Protection and Procedures Act by making representations about sustainable sourcing practice in connection with its sale of avocados (“OCA matter”). Plaintiff seeks only declaratory and injunctive relief. On February 21, 2025, the same lawyers that represent the Organic Consumers Association filed a putative class action lawsuit on behalf of Kachuk Enterprises, Bantle Avocado Farm, Maskell Family Trust, and Northern Capital, Inc., owners and operators of avocado orchards located in California, against the Company and certain other avocado distributors (“Kachuk matter”). The lawsuit alleges violations of California’s False Advertising Law, California’s Unfair Competition Law, and unjust enrichment related to defendants’ alleged representations to consumers that their avocados are sustainably and responsibly sourced. Plaintiffs primarily seek injunctive relief, monetary and statutory damages, disgorgement of profits, and restitution. On the OCA matter, the Company filed a motion to dismiss on February 25, 2025. The Court denied our motion to dismiss and allowed limited discovery on the issue of personal jurisdiction, which has been completed. The Company renewed its motion to dismiss on September 22, 2025, and Plaintiffs’ opposition was filed on March 11, 2026. On the Kachuk matter, defendants jointly filed a motion to dismiss on May 2, 2025. The Court granted defendants’ joint motion to dismiss, but allowed Plaintiffs leave to amend their complaint, which they did on October 24, 2025. Defendants thereafter jointly filed a motion to dismiss the first amended complaint on November 21, 2025. Plaintiffs filed their opposition to the first amended complaint on December 19, 2025. On January 22, 2026, the Court granted Defendants’ motion to dismiss on all grounds except for one and granted Plaintiffs narrow leave to amend to address. On January 28, 2026, Plaintiffs filed their second amended complaint. Defendants filed a renewed motion to dismiss the second amended complaint on February 25, 2026. The Defendants’ renewed motion to dismiss is pending before the Court, and a status conference is set for June 26, 2026. The Company is vigorously defending against the claims asserted in both these lawsuits. At this time, it is too soon to determine the outcome of these lawsuits. As a result, the Company has not accrued for any loss contingencies related to these matters because the amount and range of loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. On March 27, 2025, a fatality accident occurred at our Laredo, Texas distribution center. A complaint was filed by the decedent’s estate in court alleging various causes of action relating to alleged negligence. Plaintiff seeks survival damages, wrongful death damages, punitive damages, and other fees and costs. The Company has tendered the matter to insurance and was represented by counsel appointed by the insurance company. The Plaintiff submitted a Stowers demand to the insurance companies for a payment equal to the maximum coverage across all tiers, which was accepted by the insurance companies and the Company. All insurance carriers tendered to the demand, and the matter has settled, with zero out of pocket for the Company. The case has been officially dismissed. On March 4, 2026, a former temporary worker placed at the Company’s California packinghouse by a labor contractor utilized by the Company, filed a class action lawsuit in the Superior Court of California for the County of Ventura County against us alleging violations of certain wage and hour laws. Plaintiff seeks class certification, payment of wages earned and owed, liquidated damages, penalties and fees, other damages as set forth in Plaintiff’s lawsuit, and injunctive relief. The Company is vigorously defending against the claims asserted. At this time, it is too soon to determine the outcome of these lawsuits. As a result, the Company has not accrued for any loss contingencies related to these matters because the amount and range of loss, if any, cannot be reasonably estimated. The outcomes of our legal proceedings and other contingencies are inherently unpredictable, subject to significant uncertainties, and if one or more legal matters were resolved against the Company in a reporting period for amounts above management’s expectations, the Company’s financial condition and operating results for that period could be materially adversely affected.
