On Friday evening, the globally renowned crisp brand released a statement explaining that the golf ball fragments are believed to have “inadvertently been harvested” with Tayto potatoes, resulting in a batch that could pose health risks if eaten, reports the Irish Mirror.

Both cheese and onion and salt and vinegar flavour crisps with specific best-before dates and packet sizes have been recalled.
