SALADS MADE “FRESH” EVERY DAY.

Now that's a winner! Not. Those are known as scare quotes.

Hint: google for scare quotes:

putting the term “global warming” in scare quotes serves to subtly cast doubt on the reality of such a phenomenon

So. Casting doubt upon freshness? In the food service industry, they call that customer repellent!!

How about this one, which I have seen:

NO SHOES, NO SHIRT, NO DOGS, NO SERVICE.

So, no one is allowed in the store without a couple of dogs?

Of course, the “fresh” is intended to indicate emphasis—for which italics or underlining would be appropriate.

How about:

ALL OUR SAUSAGES ARE MADE WITH “PORK”!
