Unfortunately for its shareholders, in late afternoon trade the Bellamy's Australia Ltd (ASX: BAL) share price is amongst the worst performers on the market.
The infant formula company's shares are down over 6% to $10.43 at the time of writing.
What happened?
Whilst there has been no news out of the company today, there was industry news out of Europe which may have spooked investors.
According to the BBC, French infant formula maker Lactalis has ordered a global product recall over fears of salmonella contamination after over 20 children under the age of six became sick.
Lactalis has stated that it believes the salmonella outbreak can be traced back to a tower used to dry out the milk powder at its factory.
So why has Bellamy's tumbled?
The reason that Bellamy's is lower today, and that the A2 Milk Company Ltd (ASX: A2M) share price isn't, comes down to where they get their ingredients from.
Rather than producing them itself, Bellamy's sources the majority of its organic milk powders from Europe. It is not known where these powders come from exactly, but it appears as though some investors aren't taking any chances.
After finally finding its feet again, the last thing Bellamy's would want is a contamination scandal.
All being well the company will put the market at ease with an announcement this week, but until then I would suggest investors tread carefully.
