UNSPSC 50543408: Frozen non GMO barlinka grapes

The variety of non GMO table grapes known as non GMO barlinka grapes that have been frozen 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 50543408 Frozen non-GMO Barlinka grapes (Commodity) does not align with the recent state and local procurement activity posted under this code. The source records show school districts and municipalities soliciting comprehensive grocery and food-service contracts spanning breakfast and lunch items, fresh produce, frozen foods, eggs, dairy, meats, beverages, and supplies — none of which name or specifically target frozen Barlinka grapes.

No recent solicitations reference this code in connection with frozen grapes of any variety.
