UNSPSC 50531650: Dried non GMO tomcot apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO tomcot apricots that have been dried for preservation. 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 50531650 Dried non-GMO tomcot apricots is a Commodity code that captures dried fruit products procured by state and local school districts, county governments, and state health agencies as components of broader grocery and food-service contracts.

School districts and state health and human services agencies dominate purchasing under this code, with issuers including the Bridgeport Board of Education, Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Georgia state purchasing, Hancock County Board of Education, and Hillsborough County government.
