UNSPSC 50533473: Dried non GMO red malaga grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO red malaga grapes 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.

The work involves specification-driven purchasing with compliance to Buy American provisions, nutritional labeling mandates, allergen restrictions, and HACCP or food-safety certifications. Issuing bodies include school districts and boards of education (primary), county and state health and human services agencies supporting institutional meal programs, county commissioners' offices managing senior nutrition services, and state procurement divisions acting as centralized food-service vendors.
