Tayto has recalled several of its products after a golf ball seemingly made its way into some crisp packets.

Tayto Snacks said some products with best before dates in late August have been taken off shelves. 

In a statement, the company said, “fragments of a golf ball were found to be present in a small number of packs.” 

“We believe this material may have inadvertently been harvested with our potatoes,” it said. 

The company said it issued a ‘precautionary recall’ in the “best interest of consumers”. 

Any packets with best before dates of August 21st, 22nd and 23rd have been removed. 

Products recalled include: 

• Tayto Cheese & Onion 37g packet 

• Salt & Vinegar 37g 

• Cheese & Onion 6 pack (6x25g) 

• Tayto Variety 6 pack (6x25g) 

• Cheese & Onion 6 pack marked €2.50 (6x25g) 

• Tayto Variety 6 pack marked €2.50 (6x25g) 

• Cheese & Onion 10 pack marked €3.75 (10x25g) 

• Cheese & Onion 12 pack (12x25g). 

Tayto said it is “working closely” with the Food Safety Authority of Ireland to remove any affected products.
