Approximately $81.2 million of the purchase price has been allocated to other intangible assets. These businesses are included in the Grocery & Snacks segment. In September 2016, we acquired the assets of Frontera Foods, Inc. and Red Fork LLC., including the Frontera^®, Red Fork^®, and Salpica^® brands.

These businesses are reflected principally within the Grocery & Snacks segment, and to a lesser extent within the Refrigerated & Frozen and International segments. The Frontera acquisition and the Thanasi acquisition collectively contributed $36.5 million to net sales during fiscal 2017. In May 2015, we acquired Blake's All Natural Foods, a family-owned company specializing in all natural and organic frozen meals, including pot pies, casseroles, pasta dishes, and other entrees, for $20.7 million in cash net of cash acquired. Approximately $20.0 million of the purchase price has been classified as goodwill. The goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes. This business is included in the Refrigerated & Frozen segment. For each of these acquisitions, the amounts allocated to goodwill were primarily attributable to anticipated synergies, product portfolios, and other intangibles that do not qualify for separate recognition. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in these acquisitions were recorded at their respective estimated fair values at the date of acquisition.
