UNSPSC 50533646: Dried non GMO rubired grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO rubired 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.

UNSPSC 50533646 Dried non-GMO Rubired grapes is a Commodity code that captures dried fruit products procured by state and local food service buyers, primarily school districts and institutional nutrition programs, though recent solicitations show this specific code receiving minimal direct activity aligned to the commodity itself.

The issuing bodies include school districts, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, and county nutrition services departments.
