UNSPSC 50524949: Non GMO summer blush nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO summer blush nectarines. 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 50524949 Non GMO summer blush nectarines is a Commodity code. State and local governments solicit under this code for fresh produce supply to school nutrition programs, regional parks, and health care facilities. Recent solicitations show school districts and county park authorities seeking fresh fruit and vegetable procurement to support cafeteria operations, USDA nutrition programs, and concession services.
