The variety of non GMO mangoes known as non GMO manila mangoes. 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 50524515 Non GMO manila mangoes is a Commodity code covering fresh produce procurement by state and local government food service operations.

Recent solicitations emphasize domestic sourcing preferences, Buy American compliance, HACCP plans, E-Verify enrollment, liability insurance in the $500,000 to $1,000,000 range, and delivery to designated sites within specified time windows.
