The variety of organic herbs known as organic perilla that has been dried for preservation.

UNSPSC 50434118 Dried organic perilla is a Commodity code for institutional procurement of dried beans and legumes, including black beans, pinto beans, red beans, and kidney beans supplied to state agencies, correctional institutions, school districts, and child-care programs. State and local governments buy these products as bulk staple ingredients for institutional meal preparation, foodservice operations, and nutrition programs serving populations ranging from children in care facilities to incarcerated individuals. Specifications typically mandate USDA grading standards (Grade A or B), triple-cleaned product with defined foreign-material and defect tolerances, moisture-content limits, minimum shelf life (commonly one year), FDA and HACCP compliance, and FOB delivery to institutional distribution centers or meal-service locations. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections, state procurement offices acting on behalf of multiple agency users, municipal governments, school districts, and specialized foodservice authorities. Georgia Correctional Industries, the Oregon Department of Corrections, the State of Georgia, and the Texas Department of Criminal Justice are repeat institutional buyers under this code.
