UNSPSC 50454902: Frozen organic garlic mustard

The variety of organic mustard known as organic garlic mustard that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50454902 Frozen organic garlic mustard is a Commodity code that describes specialty frozen produce items used in institutional food service operations. State and local governments procure frozen organic vegetables, including garlic mustard and comparable products, as part of broader school nutrition, state cafeteria, and institutional meal programs. The solicitations under this code reflect buying patterns across school districts, state agencies, and county food service operations that source frozen and fresh produce alongside broader food supply contracts. Issuing bodies are predominantly school districts (independent, county-level, and regional systems) and state departments managing centralized food procurement for K–12 nutrition programs, with occasional participation from municipal and county food service operations.
