UNSPSC 50536216: Dried non GMO peck barton's raspberry

The variety of non GMO raspberries known as non GMO peck barton's raspberry 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 50536216 Dried non GMO peck barton's raspberry is a Commodity code that captures dried fruit and specialty produce ingredients for institutional food service and school nutrition programs. State and local governments procure dried raspberries and similar preserved fruits as components of breakfast cereals, baked goods, snacks, and meal-prep items distributed through school lunch programs, senior meal services, and institutional cafeterias. The code reflects a narrow product line within the broader institutional food procurement ecosystem; recent opportunities tag dried or specialty produce alongside hundreds of line items spanning fresh fruits, vegetables, proteins, and pantry staples under parent Family and Class codes. Issuing bodies include school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies, and county commissioners' offices purchasing for child nutrition, senior nutrition, and institutional food service programs.
