There are a few different ways that this level of interest in shorting TreeHouse Foods shares can be evaluated.
TreeHouse Foods's "short interest ratio" (SIR)

TreeHouse Foods's SIR currently stands at 5.18. In other words for every 100,000 TreeHouse Foods shares traded daily on the market, roughly 5180 shares are currently held short.
However TreeHouse Foods's short interest can also be evaluated against the total number of TreeHouse Foods shares, or, against the total number of tradable TreeHouse Foods shares (the shares that aren't held by "insiders" or major long-term shareholders – also known as the "float"). In this case TreeHouse Foods's short interest could be expressed as 0.06% of the outstanding shares (for every 100,000 TreeHouse Foods shares in existence, roughly 60 shares are currently held short) or 0.086% of the tradable shares (for every 100,000 tradable TreeHouse Foods shares, roughly 86 shares are currently held short).
A SIR below 10% would generally be considered to indicate a fairly optimistic outlook for the share price, with fewer people currently willing to bet against TreeHouse Foods.
