Hash Browns Get Recalled In 9 States Because There's Pieces Of Golf Balls In Them

(CNN) You have an early-morning golf match. You make coffee and contemplate the optimal breakfast to help you hit the ball straighter and calm those first-tee jitters. 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.” “Consumption of these products may pose a choking hazard or other physical injury to the mouth,” says the notice of the voluntary recall. There have been no reported injuries, according to the company. McCain Foods is recalling 2-pound bags of Roundy’s Brand Frozen Southern Style Hash Browns from Marianos, Metro Market, and Pick ‘n Save supermarkets in Illinois and Wisconsin. It is also recalling 2-pound bags of Harris Teeter Brand Frozen Southern Style Hash Browns sold in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, the District of Columbia, Delaware, Florida, Georgia and Maryland.

Well that sucks for anybody who ate those hash browns. I’m not gonna lie, it’s a goddamn mystery to me how this shit doesn’t happen more often. In my head, 95% of food products that get shipped out should be recalled cause there’s something wrong with it. That number might even be low. The fact that the percentages are flipped is a testament to people running the world. We shit all over this place (speaking about the world here) and bitch and moan and complain about how things aren’t going great but you gotta focus on the positives. One of those positives being that there isn’t always golf ball pieces or cow shit or wood chips or shards of glass or rat poison in mass produced food items. I’m serious. Do you know how many things could go wrong during the production and packaging process? It’s endless. You should count your lucky stars every time you bite into a frozen foot and it doesn’t kill you. A couple golf ball pieces is nothing.

PS- If you eat hash browns without cheese you gotta get it together. It’s so much better. Actually you know what? Cover everything in cheese. Get busy living or get busy dying.
