    McCain Foods USA recalls hash browns after golf balls ‘inadvertently harvested’ with potatoes

    -

    McCain Foods USA is recalling frozen hash browns in nine states because pieces of golf balls may be mixed in with the potatoes.

    McCain Foods USA’s recall notice said the golf balls apparently were “inadvertently harvested” along with the potatoes and chopped up. They say the pieces could be a choking hazard, but no injuries have been reported.

    The company is recalling 2-pound bags of Harris Teeter Brand Frozen Southern Style Hash Browns in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, District of Columbia, Delaware, Florida, Georgia and Maryland.

    It is also recalling Roundy’s Brand Frozen Southern Style Hash Browns from Marianos, Metro Market, and Pick ‘n Save stores in Illinois and Wisconsin.

    The hash browns being recalled have the production code B170119 on the back of the bag.

    Wegman’s Brand 28-ounce bag of frozen O’Brien Hash Browns are also being voluntarily recalled. They were manufactured on October 21, 2016. The production code date that can be found on the bag is B161021. The Wegman’s product was distributed in the states of Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Distribution occurred after the date of October 21, 2016.
