UNSPSC 50532003: Dried non GMO boysenberries

The variety of large bramble fruit with a raspberry flavor; the trailing hybrid bramble yielding this fruit and developed by crossing several blackberries and raspberries 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 50532003 Dried non GMO boysenberries is a Commodity code that nominally names a single dried-fruit product, but the recent state and local opportunities posted under it span broad food and consumables sourcing for school nutrition programs, state facilities, and senior meal services.
