Frozen hash brown recall due to possible 'extraneous golf ball materials'
Frozen hash brown recall due to possible 'extraneous golf ball materials'
For now, skip frozen hash browns sold in nine states under the Harris Teeter and Roundy's brands. The potatoes may contain pieces of golf balls, according to the hash brown maker. McCain Foods USA's recall notice on the US Food & Drug Administration site says the hash browns could be "contaminated with extraneous golf ball materials" that "may have been inadvertently harvested with potatoes used to make this product."

How does that even happen?
It says they "may have been inadvertently harvested with potatoes used to make this product". So I guess the potato field was next to a golf course and the harvester dug up golf balls that were accidentally hit into the field. Doesn't explain how they weren't separated out before processing though.
That is the part I dont get, dont they have any kind of quality control? From watching shows like how its made they check everything when it comes to food.
Yeah seriously. If their quality control is that poor, I wouldn't want to consume it golf balls or no. Who knows what else is in those things.
Golf balls might be the healthiest part of the hashbrowns.
