Oops! Beyonce Knowles may have been exposed to hepatitis! Not only Knowles but other top models, who were guests at Sports Illustrated party may have been exposed to hepatitis by a Wolfgang Puck prep cook.
The Los Angeles County Department of Health sent guests alerts Tuesday saying the worker had acute hepatitis A and recommended vaccinations for anyone who ate uncooked food at the party and three other events from Feb. 14-20.
Carl Schuster, president of Wolfgang Puck Catering, said,
While the risk of infection is low, we will continue to work with the Health Department to bring a speedy and thorough resolution to this investigation. Our catering efforts continue, and we remain confident that our guests will receive the highest standards of excellence for which Wolfgang Puck is known.
The list of possibly exposed guests includes Beyonce Knowles, model Bar Rafaeli, Yamila Diaz-Rahi and dozens of bikini babes.
After the cook was placed on medical leave, ‘we immediately worked to take every precaution to further safeguard our patrons and other employees,’ said Schuster.
The Feb. 14 Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition party held in the courtyard of the Pacific Design Centre in West Hollywood was the biggest event where cook worked.
The menu offered much raw food, including sushi and fresh vegetables, as well as several cooked items.
But yet, there are no reports of illness. A rep for Beyonce told TMZ that they ‘were looking into it.’
