Boxes of hash browns sold in nine states and Washington, D.C. have been recalled because they may contain an ingredient that shouldn't be anywhere near your breakfast: pieces of golf balls. On Friday, McCain Foods USA Inc. announced it was voluntarily recalling its two-pound bags of frozen hash browns because of the odd extra ingredient.In a statement posted by the Food and Drug Administration, the company said the golf balls "may have been harvested with potatoes used to make this product." It's unclear exactly how golf balls could have been harvested alongside potatoes, which is a pretty unusual situation on a farm. Luckily, there have been no reports of injuries associated with eating the hash browns, but the golf balls could pose a choking hazard. The hash-brown bags were manufactured on January 19, 2017 and have a production code date of B170119. They were sold under the brand Roundy's at Marianos, Metro Market, and Pick 'n Save supermarkets in Illinois and Wisconsin. They were also sold under the Harris Teeter store brand in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, and Washington, D.C.If you have purchased the below products, the company urges you to not consume them, and either throw them away or return them to where you bought them.
