Inspection summary
State & Main Kitchen + Bar has been inspected 4 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since November 20, 2024. The most recent inspection, on June 3, 2026, recorded 5 infractions.
None of the 4 inspections on record were free of infractions. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 11 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Cleaning and sanitizing, Food temperature control and Pests.
Recent inspections have recorded more infractions than earlier ones, so it is worth reading the latest reports closely.
What these findings mean
Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.
Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk
Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.
Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on June 3, 2026. For example:
Does the operator use approved methods for cleaning and sanitizing equipment, utensils, and surfaces?
Food temperature controlHigher risk
Bacteria multiply fastest between about 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Inspectors check that cold food stays cold, hot food stays hot, cooked food is cooled quickly, and that staff have accurate thermometers. Temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning, so these are treated as critical findings.
Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on June 3, 2026. For example:
Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?
PestsHigher risk
Signs of mice, rats, cockroaches or flies, or gaps and clutter that let them get in or hide. Pests carry bacteria and can contaminate food and surfaces, so evidence of activity is treated seriously and usually triggers a follow-up visit.
Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on June 3, 2026. For example:
Is the facility free of unapproved animals, vermin and/or insects (unless noted elsewhere), and maintained to prevent the entry or harbourage of pests?
Building, plumbing and upkeepLower risk
Floors, walls and ceilings must be smooth and clean, with working lighting, ventilation, plumbing, hot and cold water, and washrooms. These are rarely an immediate food-safety risk on their own, but persistent problems can lead to pest or sanitation issues.
Recorded 4 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on June 3, 2026. For example:
Is the facility maintained in a clean and sanitary condition?
Food safety training and certificationLower risk
Most jurisdictions require a certified food handler or manager on site, and some require allergen or food-worker training. These findings mean the paperwork or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean food was handled unsafely.
Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on June 3, 2026. For example:
Do food handlers ensure that food is protected from contamination (unless noted elsewhere)(Non-Critical)?

- 10. Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?
- 1. Ramen/miso soup measured at 37°C was stored in the walk-in cooler.Potentially hazardous foods that have been cooked and are intended to be kept under refrigerated storage prior to serving, are to be cooled from 60°C (140°F) to 20°C (70°F) or less within two hours and then from 20°C (70°F) to 4°C (40°F) or less within 4 hours.Tips for cooling food quickly:i. Divide food into smaller portions in shallow containers to coolii. Store food in an ice water bath to rapidly cool the food.iv. Use an ice wand to rapidly cool the foodv. Frequently check temperature with a probe thermometer.2. Food items such as gravy, au jus, and soup, held on the hot holding unit measured below 47.5°C, 43.9°C, and 53.1°C respectively.Foods were discarded.

- The washroom door was opened at the time of the inspection. The staff washroom is not completely enclosed from the kitchen area and there is no self-closing hinge on the door.An open washroom door can cause aerosolized droplets to migrate into food preparation areas, increasing the risk of contaminating food, utensils, and food‑contact surfaces specifically when the washroom room is not fully enclosed from the kitchen area.Install a self-closing hinge on the staff washroom door.
