NASHVILLE, Tenn., Sept. 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The World Food Championships today announced a partnership with the happy egg co., a Free Range egg company that sets the gold standard for free to roam hens in the U.S. These high quality and humane eggs will stand out as the official egg of the World Food Championships and will be available in the pantry for use by hundreds of competing cooks and chefs.
