We always figured it was the late-night customers at Jerry’s Famous Deli that posed the highest threat of communicable diseases, not the food. But an employee at the Westwood location has been diagnosed with hepatitis A and now L.A.County Department of Public Health is urging anyone who ate sandwiches in the restaurant or through its catering on November 18th, 21st, 23rd, or 24th to get an immune globulin shot or a hepatitis A vaccine within 14 days of the possible exposure. Ugh. The risk of contamination is fortunately low and only the sandwiches are thought to be affected, no matter how skeezy that chicken breast schnitzel might look . [My Fox L.A.]
