General [Abstract]
General	GENERAL The Hain Celestial Group, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company,” and herein referred to as “we,” “us,” and “our”) manufacture, market, distribute and sell natural and organic products under brand names which are sold as “better-for-you” products. We are a leader in many natural food categories, with such well-known food brands as Earth’s Best^®, Celestial Seasonings^®, Terra^®, Garden of Eatin’^®, Sensible Portions^®, Rice Dream^®, Soy Dream^®, Almond Dream^®, Imagine^®, Westsoy^®, The Greek Gods^®, Ethnic Gourmet^®, Rosetto^®, Arrowhead Mills^®, MaraNatha^®, SunSpire^®, Health Valley^®, Spectrum Naturals^®, Spectrum Essentials^®, Lima^®, Danival^®, GG UniqueFiber^TM, Yves Veggie Cuisine^®, Europe’s Best^®, DeBoles^®, Linda McCartney^® (under license), New Covent Garden Soup Co.^®, Johnson’s Juice Co.^®, Farmhouse Fare^®, Cully & Sully^® and Daily Bread^TM. Our natural personal care products are marketed under the Avalon Organics^®, Alba Botanica^®, JASON^®, Zia^®, Queen Helene^®, and Earth’s Best TenderCare^® brands. Our household cleaning products are marketed under the Martha Stewart Clean^TM (under license) brand. We have a minority investment in Hain Pure Protein Corporation (“HPP” or “Hain Pure Protein”), which processes, markets and distributes antibiotic-free chicken and turkey products. We also have an investment in a joint venture in Hong Kong with Hutchison China Meditech Ltd. (“Chi-Med”), a majority owned subsidiary of Hutchison Whampoa Limited, a company listed on the Alternative Investment Market, a sub-market of the London Stock Exchange, to market and distribute co-branded infant and toddler feeding products and market and distribute selected of the Company’s brands in China and other markets. We operate in one business segment: the manufacturing, distribution and marketing of natural and organic products. In our 2011 fiscal year, approximately 45% of our revenues were derived from products that were manufactured within our own facilities with 55% produced by various co-packers. All amounts in our condensed consolidated financial statements and tables have been rounded to the nearest thousand, except share and per share amounts, unless otherwise indicated. Management evaluated all events and transactions occurring after the balance sheet date through the filing of this quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis Of Presentation	BASIS OF PRESENTATION Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The amounts as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2011 are derived from the Company’s audited annual financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments which, in management’s opinion, are necessary for a fair presentation for interim periods. Operating results for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2012. Please refer to the footnotes to our consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2011 and for the year then ended included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for information not included in these condensed footnotes. Newly Adopted Accounting Pronouncements In the first quarter of fiscal 2012, we adopted new accounting guidance included in Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2010-29, Disclosure of Supplementary Pro Forma Information for Business Combinations. The amendments in this standard specify that if a public entity presents comparative financial statements, the entity should disclose revenue and earnings of the combined entity as though business combination(s) that occurred during the current year had occurred as of the beginning of the comparable prior annual reporting period only. This standard also expands the supplemental pro forma disclosures under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805 to include a description of the nature and amount of material, nonrecurring pro forma adjustments directly attributable to the business combination included in the reported pro forma revenue and earnings. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In the third quarter of fiscal 2012, we adopted new accounting guidance included in ASU No. 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRSs. The amendments in this standard generally represent clarification of Topic 820, but also include instances where a particular principle or requirement for measuring fair value or disclosing information about fair value measurements has changed. This update results in common principles and requirements for measuring fair value and for disclosing information about fair value measurements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and International Financial Reporting Standards. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Effective In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Presentation of Comprehensive Income, which requires that the components of other comprehensive income (“OCI”) be presented in one of two formats: either (i) together with net income in a continuous statement of comprehensive income or (ii) in a second statement of comprehensive income to immediately follow the income statement. The ASU eliminates an existing option to present the components of OCI as part of the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. Additionally, in December 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-12, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, which indefinitely defers the requirements in ASU No. 2011-05 to present reclassification adjustments out of accumulated OCI by component in both the statement in which net income is presented and the statement in which OCI is presented. During the deferral period, the existing requirements in U.S. GAAP for the presentation of reclassification adjustments must continue to be followed. These standards are effective for the Company's first quarter of fiscal year 2013. The adoption of this new guidance will require changing the Company's presentation and disclosure of comprehensive income, but these changes in presentation will not have an impact on our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. In September 2011, the FASB issued ASU No. 2011-08, Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Testing Goodwill for Impairment. ASU No. 2011-08 permits entities to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount as a basis for determining whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test included in U.S. GAAP. Entities would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless they determine that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than the carrying amount. ASU No. 2011-08 is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the provisions of ASU No. 2011-08.

From discontinued operations	0.00		—		0.00		—
Net income per common share - diluted	$	0.52	$	0.38	$	1.22	$	0.95

Basic earnings per share excludes the dilutive effects of stock options, unvested restricted stock and unvested restricted share units. Diluted earnings per share includes only the dilutive effects of common stock equivalents such as stock options and unvested restricted stock awards. The Company used income from continuing operations as the control number in determining whether potential common shares were dilutive or anti-dilutive. The same number of potential common shares used in computing the diluted per share amount from continuing operations was also used in computing the diluted per share amounts from discontinued operations even if those amounts were anti-dilutive.

Anti-dilutive stock options and restricted stock awards totaling 4,000 and 591,000 for the three months and 39,000 and 833,000 for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, were excluded from our earnings per share calculations.

Business Acquisition, Cost of Acquired Entity [Abstract]

Acquisitions

ACQUISITIONS

We account for acquisitions using the acquisition method of accounting. The results of operations of the acquisitions have been included in our consolidated results from their respective dates of acquisition. We allocate the purchase price of each acquisition to the tangible assets, liabilities, and identifiable intangible assets acquired based on their estimated fair values. The fair values assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired were determined primarily by using an income approach which was based on assumptions and estimates made by management. Significant assumptions utilized in the income approach were based on company specific information and projections which are not observable in the market and are thus considered Level 3 measurements as defined by authoritative guidance. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the identified assets and liabilities has been recorded as goodwill.

Fiscal 2012

On October 25, 2011, we acquired the Daniels Group (“Daniels”) in the United Kingdom, for £146,532 in cash, net (approximately $233,822 at the transaction date exchange rate), and up to £13,000 (approximately $20,500 at the transaction date exchange rate) of contingent consideration based upon the achievement of specified operating results during the twelve month periods ended March 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013. The acquisition was funded with borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Daniels is a leading marketer and manufacturer of natural chilled foods, including three leading brands – The New Covent Garden Soup Co., Johnson’s Juice Co. and Farmhouse Fare hot-eating desserts. Daniels also offers fresh prepared fruit products and chilled ready meals. Daniels’ product offerings are sold at all major supermarkets and select foodservice outlets throughout the United Kingdom. We believe the acquisition of Daniels will extend our presence into one of the fastest-growing healthy food segments in the United Kingdom and provide a platform for the growth of our combined operations. We also believe the acquisition will provide us with the scale in our international operations to allow us to introduce some of our existing brands in the marketplace in a more meaningful way. During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company decided to sell the Daniels private label chilled ready meals operations. Refer to Note 16, Discontinued Operations, for additional information. Since the date of acquisition, Daniels net sales and income before income taxes from continuing operations of $100,265 and $12,773, respectively, were included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the nine months ended March 31, 2012.

On October 5, 2011 we acquired the assets and business of the Europe’s Best brand of all natural frozen fruit and vegetable products through our wholly-owned Hain Celestial Canada subsidiary for $9,513 in cash (which is subject to a final settlement with the sellers). The Europe’s Best product line includes premium fruit and vegetable products distributed in Canada. The acquisition provides us entry into a new category and is expected to complement our existing product offerings. The amounts of net sales and earnings from the Europe’s Best acquisition included in our results since the acquisition date were not significant.

The following table summarizes the components of the preliminary purchase price allocations for the fiscal 2012 acquisitions:



	Daniels			Europe’s Best			Total
Purchase price:
Cash paid	$	233,822		$	9,513		$	243,335
Fair value of contingent consideration	15,637			—			15,637
	$	249,459		$	9,513		$	258,972
Allocation:
Current assets	$	55,742		$	7,157		$	62,899
Property, plant and equipment	46,799			—			46,799
Identifiable intangible assets	106,784			2,706			109,490
Other non-current assets, net	1,108			—			1,108
Assumed liabilities	(46,430		)	(184		)	(46,614		)
Deferred income taxes	(30,982		)	(166		)	(31,148		)
Goodwill	116,438			—			116,438
	$	249,459		$	9,513		$	258,972

The purchase price allocations are based upon preliminary valuations, and the Company’s estimates and assumptions are subject to change within the measurement period as valuations are finalized. Any change in the estimated fair value of the net assets, prior to the finalization of the more detailed analyses, but not to exceed one year from the dates of acquisition, will change the amount of the purchase price allocations. The fair values assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired were based on assumptions and estimates made by management. Identifiable intangible assets acquired consisted of customer relationships initially valued at $54,662 with a weighted average estimated useful life of 11.1 years and trade names initially valued at $54,828 with indefinite lives. The goodwill represents the future economic benefits expected to arise that could not be individually identified and separately recognized, including use of our existing infrastructure to expand sales of the acquired business products. The goodwill recorded as a result of the Daniels acquisition is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes.

Fiscal 2011

On February 4, 2011, we acquired Danival SAS, a manufacturer of certified organic food products based in France, for cash consideration of €18,083 ($24,741 based on the transaction date exchange rate). Danival’s product line includes over 200 branded organic sweet and salted grocery, fruits, vegetables and delicatessen products currently distributed in Europe. The Danival acquisition complements the organic food line of our Lima brand in Europe. Identifiable intangible assets acquired consisted of customer relationships, recipes and the trade name. The trade name intangible relates to the “Danival” brand name, which has an indefinite life, and therefore, is not amortized. The customer relationship and recipes intangible assets are being amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The goodwill recorded of $9,142 represented the future economic benefits expected to arise that could not be individually identified and separately recognized and is not deductible for tax purposes.

On January 28, 2011, we acquired GG UniqueFiber AS, a manufacturer of all natural high fiber crackers based in Norway that distributed its products through independent distributors in the United States and Europe. The acquisition broadened our offerings of whole grain and high fiber products. The acquisition of GG UniqueFiber was completed for cash consideration of Norwegian kroner (“NOK”) 25,000 ($4,281 based on the transaction date exchange rate) plus up to NOK 25,000 ($4,281) of additional contingent consideration based upon the achievement of specified operating results, of which the Company recorded NOK 17,600 ($3,050) as the fair value at the acquisition date. The goodwill recorded of $4,893 represents the future economic benefits expected to arise that could not be individually identified and separately recognized and is not deductible for tax purposes.

On July 2, 2010, we acquired substantially all of the assets and business, including The Greek Gods brand of Greek-style yogurt products, and assumed certain liabilities of 3 Greek Gods, LLC (“Greek Gods”). Greek Gods develops, produces, markets The Greek Gods brand of Greek-style yogurt products into various sales channels. The acquisition of The Greek Gods brand expanded our refrigerated product offerings. The acquisition was completed for initial cash consideration of $16,277, and 242,185 shares of the Company’s common stock, valued at $4,785, plus additional contingent consideration based upon the achievement of specified operating results in fiscal 2011 and 2012. The Company paid $15,400 of contingent consideration during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011, representing payment for the achievement of the first year’s operating results and paid the remaining $9,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2012. The Company recorded $22,900 as the fair value of the contingent consideration at the acquisition date and the additional payments totaling $1,500 were recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income in periods subsequent to the acquisition. Identifiable intangible assets acquired consisted of customer relationships and the trade name. The trade name intangible relates to “The Greek Gods” brand name, which has an indefinite life, and therefore, is not amortized. The customer relationship intangible asset is being amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. The goodwill recorded of $23,686 represents the future economic benefits expected to arise that could not be individually identified and separately recognized, including entry into the yogurt category and use of our existing infrastructure to expand sales of the acquired business products and is deductible for tax purposes.

The costs related to all acquisitions have been expensed as incurred and are included in “Acquisition related expenses and restructuring charges” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Acquisition-related costs of $407 and $6,140 were expensed in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012, and $1,690 (which was offset by a reversal of $4,130 of contingent consideration) and $2,939 (which was offset by a net reversal of $3,687 of contingent consideration) were expensed in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2011, respectively.

The following table provides unaudited pro forma results of continuing operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 as if all of the above acquisitions had been completed at the beginning of the prior fiscal year. The following pro forma combined results of continuing operations have been provided for illustrative purposes only, and do not purport to be indicative of the actual results that would have been achieved by the Company for the periods presented or that will be achieved by the combined company in the future. The pro forma information has been adjusted to give effect to items that are directly attributable to the transactions and are expected to have a continuing impact on the combined results. The adjustments include amortization expense associated with acquired identifiable intangible assets, interest expense associated with bank borrowings to fund the acquisitions and elimination of transactions costs incurred in fiscal 2012 and 2011 that are directly related to the transactions and do not have a continuing impact on operating results from continuing operations.

This information has not been adjusted to reflect any changes in the operations of the businesses subsequent to their acquisition by us. Changes in operations of the acquired businesses include, but are not limited to, discontinuation of products, integration of systems and personnel, changes in trade practices, application of our credit policies, changes in manufacturing processes or locations, and changes in marketing and advertising programs. Had any of these changes been implemented by the former managements of the businesses acquired prior to acquisition by us, the net sales and net income information might have been materially different than the actual results achieved and from the pro forma information provided. In management’s opinion, these unaudited pro forma results of operations are not intended to represent or to be indicative of the actual results that would have occurred had the acquisitions been consummated at the beginning of the periods presented or of future operations of the combined companies under our management.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Long-Term Debt And Credit Facility	LONG-TERM DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITY We have $150 million in aggregate principal amount of 10 year senior notes due May 2, 2016 issued in a private placement. The notes bear interest at 5.98%, payable semi-annually on November 2 and May 2. As of March 31, 2012, $150,000 of the senior notes was outstanding. We have a credit agreement which provides us with a $400 million revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”), expiring in July 2015. Borrowings may be used to provide working capital, finance capital expenditures and permitted acquisitions, refinance certain existing indebtedness and for other corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement contains restrictive covenants usual and customary for facilities of its type, which include, with specified exceptions, limitations on our ability to engage in certain business activities, incur debt, have liens, make capital expenditures, pay dividends or make other distributions, enter into affiliate transactions, consolidate, merge or acquire or dispose of assets, and make certain investments, acquisitions and loans. The Credit Agreement also requires that we satisfy certain financial covenants, such as maintaining a consolidated interest coverage ratio (as defined) of no less than 4.00 to 1.00 and a consolidated leverage ratio (as defined) of no more than 3.50 to 1.00, which consolidated leverage ratio may increase to no more than 4.0 to 1.0 for the twelve-month period following a permitted acquisition. The Credit Agreement may be increased by an additional uncommitted $100 million, provided certain conditions are met. Our obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by all of our existing and future domestic subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. As of March 31, 2012, there were $280,000 of borrowings outstanding under the Credit Agreement.

Income Taxes	9 Months Ended
Income Taxes	Mar. 31, 2012
Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract]
Income Taxes	INCOME TAXES The effective income tax rate from continuing operations was 34.0% for the three months and 36.2% for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 39.6% for the three months and 40.7% for the nine months ended March 31, 2011. The Company uses an estimated annual effective tax rate, which is based on expected annual income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which the Company operates, to determine its quarterly provision for income taxes. Certain significant or unusual items are separately recognized in the quarter in which they occur and can be a source of variability in the effective tax rates from quarter to quarter. The effective tax rate for the third quarter and first nine months of fiscal 2012 was lower than the comparable periods of the prior year primarily as a result of reduced losses incurred in the United Kingdom and the acquisition of Daniels on October 25, 2011 and the increased income in its lower tax rate jurisdiction. Prior to the acquisition of Daniels, no tax benefits were recorded for losses incurred in the United Kingdom. The Company will continue to maintain a valuation allowance on its net deferred tax assets related to those carryforward losses until an appropriate level of profitability is attained such that the losses may be utilized. If the Company is able to realize any of these deferred tax assets in the future, the provision for income taxes will be reduced by a release of the corresponding valuation allowance. In addition, in the third quarter of fiscal 2012, the Company recorded a discrete adjustment to recognize a decrease of $820 in its liability for uncertain tax positions as the result of an expiration of the statute of limitations. The Company's tax rate for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012 was unfavorably impacted by $1,178 related to nondeductible transaction costs incurred in connection with the acquisition of Daniels. The fiscal 2012 and 2011 effective income tax rates differed from the federal statutory rate primarily due to the items noted previously, as well as the effect of state and local income taxes. There were no other material changes in unrecognized tax benefits during the first nine months of fiscal 2012. In connection with the acquisition of Daniels, we recorded a $2,102 reserve related to an uncertain tax position recorded by Daniels in prior years. We also recorded an indemnification asset for the same amount as the sellers of Daniels are contractually required to reimburse the Company for any assessment that may arise.

Restructuring Charges [Abstract]
Restructuring And Other Charges	RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES The Company periodically assesses its operations to ensure that they are efficient, aligned with market conditions and responsive to customer needs. In the third quarter of fiscal 2011 we initiated a plan to close our Manchester, United Kingdom non-dairy beverage facility. For the year ended June 30, 2011, we recorded $321 of costs associated with this plan. In the nine months ended March 31, 2012, we recorded $606 of severance costs related to our fresh food-to-go products operation in the United Kingdom. These costs are included in “Acquisition related expenses and restructuring charges” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. As of March 31, 2012, the remaining amount accrued for these initiatives was $291.

Investments And Joint Ventures	Mar. 31, 2012
Equity Method Investments and Joint Ventures [Abstract]
Investments And Joint Ventures	INVESTMENTS AND JOINT VENTURES Equity method investments At March 31, 2012, the Company owned 48.7% of Hain Pure Protein (see Note 1). This investment is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The carrying value of our investment of $25,065 and advances to HPP of $10,049 are included on the consolidated balance sheet in “Investments and joint ventures.” The Company previously provided advances to HPP when it was a consolidated subsidiary to finance its operations. Simultaneously with the dilution of the Company’s interest in HPP in June 2009 and its deconsolidation, HPP entered into a separate credit agreement. The Company and HPP entered into a subordination agreement covering the outstanding advances at the date of deconsolidation. The subordination agreement allows for prepayments of the advances based on HPP’s meeting certain conditions under its credit facility. The balance of the advances are due no later than July 1, 2014. At March 31, 2012, the Company also owned 50.0% of a joint venture, Hutchison Hain Organic Holdings Limited (“HHO”), with Hutchison China Meditech Ltd. (“Chi-Med”), a majority owned subsidiary of Hutchison Whampoa Limited. HHO markets and distributes co-branded infant and toddler feeding products and markets and distributes selected Company brands in Hong Kong, China and other markets. Voting control of the joint venture is shared 50/50 between the Company and Chi-Med, although, in the event of a deadlock, Chi-Med has the ability to cast the deciding vote. The carrying value of our investment and advances to HHO of $2,866 are included on the consolidated balance sheet in “Investments and joint ventures.” The investment is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Available-For-Sale Securities The Company has a less than 1% equity ownership interest in Yeo Hiap Seng Limited (“YHS”), a Singapore based natural food and beverage company listed on the Singapore Exchange, which is accounted for as an available-for-sale security. The fair value of this security was $5,043 at March 31, 2012 and $6,390 at June 30, 2011 and is included in “Investments and joint ventures,” with the related unrealized loss, net of tax, included in “Accumulated other comprehensive income” in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The Company concluded that the decline in its YHS investment is temporary and, accordingly, has not recognized a loss in its consolidated statements of operations. In making this determination, the Company considered its intent and ability to hold the investment until the cost is recovered, the financial condition of YHS, the duration and magnitude of the loss compared to the investment’s cost, and publicly available information about the industry and geographic region in which YHS operates.
