UNSPSC 50523502: Non GMO canner grapes

The variety of non GMO raisin grapes known as non GMO canner grapes. This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions. Such methods include cell fusion, microencapsulation and macro-encapsulation, and recombinant DNA technology (including gene deletion, gene doubling, introducing a foreign gene, and changing the positions of genes when achieved by recombinant DNA technology).

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50523502 Non GMO canner grapes, a Commodity code, covers fresh grape sourcing for school food service, healthcare facility operations, and park concession food services where state and local governments are increasingly procuring produce through school nutrition programs and regional foodservice operations. The work involves supplying fresh fruits and vegetables to multiple state and local purchasing bodies according to specification, with delivery to centralized distribution points or individual service locations, compliance with food safety and traceability standards, and adherence to Buy American, local-sourcing, and organic-preference provisions where applicable.
