KISSIMMEE, Fla., Sept. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- The happy egg co., the only free range egg brand to be American Humane Certified™, will be the official egg of the 2015 World Food Championships and an infused ingredient in the Top 10 Round of the World Sandwich Competition, from which the Ultimate World Grand Champion will emerge. The high quality and humanely produced eggs will be available to all chefs and competitors in the general pantry throughout the event, for use in their championship-level recipes.

"The happy egg co. could not be a more perfect sponsor to provide an infused ingredient for the Top 10 Round," said World Food Championships CEO Mike McCloud. "happy egg's mission is to spread happiness from the hens it cares for to the consumer who wants to buy more humanely produced products. Its commitment to quality, clarity and honesty certainly embodies the spirit of the Championships."

McCloud said that what makes the happy egg co. different is that they let hens be hens by allowing them to be outdoors on farms with large open spaces, lush pastures and enrichment structures to support their natural behaviors every day. In fact, the happy egg co. is the only U.S. egg brand that is 100 percent free range with a hen welfare program that covers everything from living conditions to feed to the expertise of the caregivers. This year, the happy egg co. was the first free range egg producer to be named American Humane Certified™.

"The World Food Championships invites champions from the biggest and best food competitions around the world to vie for the title of Ultimate World Grand Champion," said Jenni Danby, marketing director at the happy egg co. "We are excited to provide high quality, humanely raised ingredients for their world-class recipes, as we do for consumers nationwide and are looking forward to seeing what creative dishes the competitors come up with."

Danby went on to say that the happy egg co. will be hosting an online recipe contest in advance of the World Food Championships that will give one skilled individual the opportunity to compete at the World Sandwich Championship, a waived registration fee and a $500 travel stipend. Other prizes include Golden Tickets to the World Sandwich Championship.
