UNSPSC 50532408: Dried non GMO white cherimoya

The variety of non GMO cherimoya known as non GMO white cherimoya that has 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 50532408 Dried non-GMO white cherimoya is a Commodity code that captures fresh and processed produce items purchased by state and local school districts, counties, and state health agencies for food service operations. Recent state and local solicitations under this code span broad grocery and produce procurement for school nutrition programs, senior meal services, and state-supported facilities, reflecting a far broader scope than the specific commodity name suggests. School districts are the primary issuing bodies, along with county boards of commissioners and state health and human services agencies, all seeking produce and food items to support child nutrition programs, senior services, and institutional food service operations that must comply with USDA Buy American provisions requiring minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content and adherence to nutrition standards including the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act.
