Frozen hash browns recalled due to possible golf ball contamination



Roundy’s and Harris Teeter brands of Southern Style Hash Browns are being recalled because the company fears golf balls were harvested and processed with the potatoes.

McCain Foods USA, Inc. is voluntarily recalling the frozen hash browns. In a statement, the company said, “despite our stringent supply standards,” the golf balls “may have been inadvertently harvested with potatoes used to make this product.”
Eating pieces of golf ball could pose a choking hazard or cause physical injury to the mouth.

The impacted products include Roundy’s Brand, 2 lb. bag of frozen Southern Style Hash Browns and Harris Teeter Brand, 2 lb. bag of frozen Southern Style Hash Browns.

1. When I was a kid we heard a legend that if you cut open a golf ball

and even touched the liquid center, you would immediately drop dead. I hope none of those ended up in the hash browns.

4. Most of today's balls are solid

Although there are balls with a liquid center, they are rather rare. Additionally, the acid/poison/gas stories were myths. This link has a reliable explanation and history:

7. Yeah, but back in the olden days (late '50s-early '60s),

they mostly had liquid centers which, we were assured, were deadly poisonous. Maybe we were told that only so we wouldn't cut up our dads' golf balls - but in any event I remember we'd unwind yards and yards of red rubber bands to finally arrive at the deadly liquid center, encased in another rubber ball. And then some brave kid would verrry carefully cut a little slit in it and we'd all back away...



Stuff isn't fun-scary any more, it seems. It can all be instantly debunked on the Internets.

8. That's my era, too

Okay, how about this one: don't eat apple sears because they're poisonous.

9. Apple seeds *are* poisonous. They contain small amounts of cyanide.

But it would take about 200 of them to do you in.

5. When I was a kid we heard the ball would explode just before you cut close to the center

I dissected many, and none ever exploded. All I ever got was a bunch of useless rubber band strands and a hardened/coagulated liquid center that didn't even bounce.

10. We heard if you bounced it on a hard surface it could explode

[Brother Buzz]

12. I guess we had wussy hard surfaces in sunny California

That, or lots of dud balls.

2. Double your money!, they said.

Grow potatoes under the turf on a golf course? Can't lose!

3. Heck, they're adding rubber to bread in Texas
