The variety of non GMO oranges known as non GMO pummulo oranges 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).

UNSPSC 50535034 Dried non-GMO pummelo oranges is a Commodity code that in practice spans a much broader set of fresh and processed food products for school nutrition and institutional food service operations. State and local purchasing under this code reflects routine replenishment of grocery and produce inventories for school districts, county nutrition programs, and state-supported facilities rather than narrow sourcing of a single dried-citrus item. The issuing bodies are primarily school districts (Hancock County Board of Education, Pascagoula-Gautier School District, Bridgeport Board of Education) and state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners operating senior meal programs). Recent opportunities show solicitations for fresh produce spanning apples, berries, cruciferous vegetables, and citrus; packaged meal boxes; comprehensive grocery line items including breakfast items, frozen products, condiments, and meat; and institutional food service for senior meal programs. All solicitations comply with Buy American provisions requiring a minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural commodity content, Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, and HACCP food safety protocols.
