Hollywood hepatitis

The newest food safety info sheet, a graphical one-page food safety-related story directed at food handlers, is now available.

Infosheet highlights:

  • Recent Hollywood parties attendees were given a scare when it was announced that a worker for famous chef Wolfgang Puck’s catering service was diagnosed with  Hepatitis A.
  • Among those in attendance at  the party was singer Beyonce Knowles, while director George  Lucas attended another event  catered by the same company.
  • Infected individuals can shed the virus for up to 30 days before showing symptoms.
  • Attendees were recommended to get immunoglobulin shots to prevent possible infection.

Infosheets are created weekly by FSN and are posted in restaurants, retail stores, on farms and used in training throughout the world. If you have any infosheet topic requests, or photos, please contact Ben Chapman.
