A North Carolina food company is recalling frozen hash browns from stores in nine states, including Wisconsin, because the potatoes may have pieces of golf balls in them.

McCain Foods USA’s recall notice said the golf balls 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.

The company is recalling 2-pound bags of Roundy’s Brand Frozen Southern Style Hash Browns from Marianos, Metro Market, and Pick ‘n Save stores in Illinois and Wisconsin. It is also recalling Harris Teeter Brand Frozen Southern Style Hash Browns in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, District of Columbia, Delaware, Florida, Georgia and Maryland.

The hash browns being recalled have the production code B170119 on the backs of the bags.
