Summary: For the time being, skip frozen hash browns sold in nine states under the Harris Teeter and Roundy's brands. They may contain pieces of golf balls, according to the hash brown maker. The 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." Continuing, "Consumption of these products may pose a choking hazard or other physical injuries to the mouth," says the notice of the voluntary recall.The contaminated products should be thrown away or returned to the place of purchase. McCain Foods has not responded to a request for further comment.
Analysis: That is crazy to me that golf balls could end up in hash browns, how could one not notice that? I am glad no one has gotten hurt though, and the company has taken appropriate action, so everything turned out okay in the end. I just think that it is mind boggling as to how this event occurred.

I find this very disturbing! I'm glad no one has been affected by this, and it's really gross that golf balls were in hash browns!
