The Health Inspector is one of the minor antagonists in Ratatouille. He is voiced by Tony Fucile.

Background
Unlike most Disney villains, the health inspector's antagonism is not based on outright hatred for the protagonists, but rather performing the job he was hired to do: inspecting restaurants for cleanliness standards. When the rats are going to get him, they used coils of rope, tied him up and put him in the food closet, along with a later captured Chef Skinner. In the final scene, Remy says that there was no way the rats could have kept Skinner nor the health inspector detained indefinitely, and later had to free both of them.

Role in the film
Skinner calls the health inspector on a public phone outside Gusteau's to report a rat infestation. The inspector replies with him coming to check the restaurant in 3 months time. On the next day, before Remy and the other rats start cooking, the inspector comes in, dropping his documents. Stunned by what he saw, he ran to his car, with Django and some other rats covering the entire car while he tries to start the car. The car eventually starts, but crashes afterwards when Colette returns. The rats bound him with the rope and stuck the duck-tape on his mouth, gagging him. They take him in the locket. When he sees Colette in the kitchen, he tries to order her to untie him, but the duck-tape gags him too hard and the rats throw him in the locket. Later, Skinner sees the rats too, and gets bound, gagged and thrown in the locket with inspector. Near the end of the film, Remy says they could not keep the health inspector (nor Skinner) imprisoned in the food locker forever and were forced to release both of them, which ultimately led to the closure of Gusteau's for health violations.

Trivia

 * The inspector said that he will come within three months, and if someone cancels one inspection, he'll slot Skinner in. However, he comes to the restaurant on the next day, assuming the fact someone cancelled the inspection.
