McCain Foods manufactured Roundy’s Brand Frozen Southern Style Hash Browns & Harris Teeter Brand Frozen Southern Style Hash Browns.
They issued a voluntary recall for both products in 2017 because they may contain an unintended ingredient - golf balls!
The products, they feared, may have been laced accidentally contaminated with “extraneous golf ball materials” that were harvested alongside the potatoes, posing quite a few risks to consumers, from choking hazards to potential mouth lacerations.
No other recall in recent memory, from salmonella in Jalapeño chips to listeria in raw milk cheese, has involved chopped remnants of what you’d find on a putting green.
