The inspection identified violations related to pest control, an important area of food safety.

Beyond regulatory requirements, such infractions may affect the restaurant's standing and customer relationships. Local food safety organizations monitor inspection results to provide information to the public.
City health officials have required that Al Chile promptly correct these infractions before continuing food service. Re-examination will be conducted to ensure corrections.
