Bacon, eggs, toast, hash browns, golf balls: the essentials to a balanced breakfast. Wait, what was that last one? Consumers of Roundy's Brand Frozen Southern Style Hash Browns in Illinois and Wisconsin, and Harris Teeter Brand Frozen Southern Style Hash Browns in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, the District of Columbia, Delaware, Florida, Georgia and Maryland, may have asked themselves this question lately.

The parent company for these brands, McCain Foods, recently issued a recall on the listed products due to possible contamination of "extraneous golf ball materials" in the potato crop used to make the hash browns. If your hash browns tasted extra crispy and crunchy lately, well, this may be why. Was the potato farm located near a golf course or something? (Interested in a good breakfast that doesn't come with a side of golf balls? Here are the 10 meals you should make.)

As CNN reports, the recall applies to products with the code B170119, which can be found on the 2-pound bags of Roundy's and Harris Teeter's foods. The FDA notice notes that "distribution occurred after the date of January 19, 2017," and warns of potential choking risks from consuming the hash browns.

It's no doubt concerning, so if you have these foods sitting in your freezer, take a look at the packaging and make sure you have the all-clear. And, if you'd like to make the best hash browns you can eat, instead of consuming the frozen stuff, click here.
