The variety of organic apples known as organic delicious apples which have been pureed.

UNSPSC 50391518 Organic delicious apple purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments buying under this code procure shelf-stable and fresh fruit products—canned applesauce, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, and fresh apples—for institutional food service at correctional facilities, state veterans homes, school districts, county senior services, and state health and human services facilities. Scope varies from single-line-item bids on canned applesauce to multi-category food procurement where apple products appear alongside proteins, dairy, and vegetables. School districts, county boards of education, state departments of corrections, and state health agencies dominate the issuing-body mix, though county senior services and municipal school nutrition programs also solicit under related commodity codes for similar products.
