Hampton Creek, last discussed here on August 4<\/a> may have bought itself a world of trouble<\/a>:<\/p>\n

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is looking into whether a San Francisco-based food technology startup broke the law by not disclosing that it was buying its own vegan mayonnaise from stores, which made the product appear to be more successful than it was, according to people familiar with the matter.<\/p>\n

The agency is trying to determine whether Josh Tetrick\u2019s Hampton Creek Inc. improperly recognized revenue from purchases made with company money, said the people, who asked not to be named because the matter isn\u2019t public. The opening of an SEC inquiry into the buybacks is a preliminary step and doesn\u2019t mean the company will face an enforcement action.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
