Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Segments SEGMENTS
At December 31, 2024, the Company managed and reported operating results through the following four reportable segments:
•Post Consumer Brands: primarily North American RTE cereal, pet food and peanut butter;
•Weetabix: primarily U.K. RTE cereal, muesli and protein-based shakes;
•Foodservice: primarily egg and potato products; and
•Refrigerated Retail: primarily side dish, egg, cheese and sausage products.
Due to the level of integration between the Foodservice and Refrigerated Retail segments, it is impracticable to present total assets separately for each segment. An allocation has been made between the two segments for depreciation based on inventory costing.
Management evaluates each segment’s performance based on its segment profit, which for all segments is its earnings/loss before income taxes and equity method earnings/loss before impairment of property, goodwill and other intangible assets, facility closure related costs, restructuring expenses, gain/loss on assets and liabilities held for sale, gain/loss on sale of businesses and facilities, demolition and site remediation costs related to unused facilities, gain on/adjustment to bargain purchase, interest expense and other unallocated corporate income and expenses.
The following tables present information about the Company’s reportable segments. In addition, the tables present net sales by product.
