McCain Foods recall of some hash brown product also includes Wegmans

There’s a voluntary recall involving some hash brown products manufactured by McCain Foods which may contain materials from golf balls.

The original recall has now been expanded to include some of the product that was sold at Wegmans.

McCain says parts of the golf balls may have been harested with the potatoes used to make the hash browns.

The recall includes the Wegman’s Brand 28-ounce bag of frozen O’Brien Hash Browns (UPC 07789036523).

The Wegmans products being voluntarily recalled were manufactured on October 21, 2016. The production code date that can be found on the bag is B161021.

It has a ‘best by’ date of October 2017

The Wegmans product was distributed in the states of Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania and Virginia. Distribution occurred after the date of October 21, 2016. 

Any Wegman’s O’Brien Hash Browns product with a different production code date is not impacted by this voluntary recall.  No other products under the Wegman’s brand are impacted by this voluntary recall. 

Any of the affected products may be returned for a full refund.  You can get more information at the FDA website and also at Wegmans website.
