UNSPSC 50526102: Non GMO pineapple quince

The variety of non GMO quince known as non GMO pineapple quince. 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 50526102 Non GMO pineapple quince is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce procurement by state and local governments.

Issuing bodies include school districts (Madison Metropolitan, Hancock County, Early County, Bartow County), county boards of education and park authorities (Collier County), the State of Georgia, and specialized food-service coalitions such as Marion Health Care Coalition. Scope spans fresh fruits and vegetables, including apples, bananas, berries, citrus, root vegetables, leafy greens, and specialty items delivered to institutional foodservice operations under contract terms typically running one school or fiscal year with renewal options.
