Golf Ball Pieces Found in Hash Browns

McCain Foods, with local facilities in Aroostook County and New Brunswick, is recalling frozen hash browns from stores in nine states because the potatoes may have pieces of golf balls in them.

The 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.

McCain's 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.

It's not known at this time where the pieces of golf balls came from.
