Inspection summary
Everitt Gardens - Serveries has been inspected 10 times by Alberta Health Services (Environmental Public Health) since February 7, 2024. The most recent inspection, on March 31, 2026, found no infractions.
3 of 10 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there were 2 inspections with 2 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Cleaning and sanitizing, Food temperature control and Chemicals and toxic substances.
Recent inspections have recorded fewer infractions than earlier ones, so the record is improving.
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 6 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on December 5, 2024. 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 5 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on April 30, 2025. For example:
Are food temperatures during storage and processing being controlled to maximize food safety?
Chemicals and toxic substancesHigher risk
Cleaning products, sanitizers and pesticides must be labelled and stored away from food and food-contact surfaces. Inspectors flag chemicals that could end up in food, as well as pest treatments applied without proper supervision.
Recorded once on August 19, 2024. For example:
Are chemicals stored and handled in a safe manner?
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 4 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on February 10, 2026. For example:
Do food handlers ensure that food is protected from contamination (unless noted elsewhere)(Non-Critical)?
Equipment and utensilsLower risk
Equipment has to be built from cleanable materials, kept in good repair and stored properly. These findings are mostly about upkeep, like a cracked shelf, a worn gasket or utensils stored the wrong way. They are generally lower risk but show how well the kitchen is maintained.
Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on June 2, 2025. For example:
Are utensils and equipment maintained in a condition and a manner that ensures the safe handling of food?

- X Food (Milk, pizza, soup, tuna sandwich, and cake) was observed out on the tables and in the microwave at ambient temperatures or stored on the tops of the steam tables during the inspection. This was noted in the serveries on the 1st, 3rd, and 5th floors. The internal temperature of the food left out at ambient temperatures were found to be the same as the ambient temperature ~25-28C. The internal temperature of some of the food left on the tops of the steam tables measured ~33-37C. Food was discarded by staff during the inspection. Ensure high risk or potentially hazardous food items are stored at 4.0 C or colder OR 60 C or hotter. Food items should be cooled quickly, ensure staff are not storing/leaving food items at ambient temperatures or on top of the steam tables.X The first floor MCU mini fridge temperature measured ~9-11C. The temperature dial was adjusted to the maximum cold setting during the inspection. Advised staff to discontinue use of this refrigerator until the temperature can be maintained at 4C or less. X The first floor MCU mini fridge thermometer is broken. The dial on the thermometer read minus 5C at the time of the inspection. Please replace this thermometer.X The lowest temperature measured in the 4th floor refrigerator was ~9-10C at the time of the inspection. The temperature dial was adjusted from the warmest setting to the coldest setting during the inspection. Advised staff to discontinue use of this refrigerator until the temperature can be maintained at 4C or less.
