<div><p>One of the biggest names in breakfast foods has issued a bizarre recall that covers 10 states across the country. The reason: golf balls.</p><p>You can't think of two things <em>less </em>related than golf balls and hash browns, so many eyebrows were raised when McCain Foods USA issued a recall of their 2-lb bag of frozen hash browns due to the possibility they were contaminated with "extraneous golf ball materials."</p><p>The recall noticed didn't offer much clarity on just <em>how</em> the materials might have come to contaminate the product. All it said was that "they may have been inadvertently harvested with potatoes used to make this product."</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/golfballs---tsn.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/golfballs---tsn_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w" sizes="89vw" title="Golf Balls" alt="Golf Balls" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>TSN</cite></figcaption></figure></div><p>The golf balls pose a choking hazard and may injure mouths if eaten.</p><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>McCain Foods is recalling bags of Roundy's Brand Frozen Southern Style Hash Browns from the Marianos, Metro Market and Pick 'n Save supermarkets in Illinois and Wisconsin.
