Wolfgang Yuck

Celebrity partygoers got a little extra surprise with their Wolfgang Puck-catered meal:
A Sports Illustrated bash for its annual swimsuit issue has turned into a health scare for stars in Hollywood after a caterer working for celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck may have exposed them to acute Hepatitis A.

The Los Angeles County health department recommended on Tuesday that anyone who ate uncooked food at the U.S. sports magazine's party on February 14 get treatment by Wednesday to avoid developing the serious liver disease.

Health officials said the risk was "quite low" and that no Wolfgang Puck pre-packaged foods or restaurants were affected.

That can't be good for business. Of course, at any celebrity gathering in Los Angeles, hepatitis is probably the least dangerous disease present in the room.
