Wolfgang Puck Worker Diagnosed With Hepatitis A

 Los Angeles County's List Of Immunization Centers

LOS ANGELES (CBS) ― Los Angeles County health officials say a cook employed with Wolfgang Puck Catering in Hollywood has been diagnosed with acute hepatitis A.

Officials say the employee helped prepare food at four events between Feb. 14 and Feb. 20, including the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue party at the Pacific Design Center on Valentine's Day.

Anyone who ate uncooked food at that event is advised to get an immune globulin shot by tomorrow to prevent development of acute hepatitis A.

Officials say there is no risk to anyone who ate food prepared after Feb. 20. None of the Wolfgang Puck restaurants or Express Cafes or any of Puck's pre-packaged foods are affected.

Symptoms of hepatitis A include jaundice, fatigue, fever, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhea.
