It's used by most larger companies for the benifits of easier storage, less risk of bacteria, and no shell!

Regarding it's "freshness" ...perhaps a good comparison would be an "innocent" smoothie.

I should add that in my restaurant we still prefer to keep the eggs in individual oval shaped brown containers :-)
