UNSPSC 50545706: Frozen non GMO early dapple plucot

The variety of non GMO plucots known as non GMO early dapple plucot that has 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 50545706 Frozen non GMO early dapple plucot is a Commodity code that captures fresh and frozen produce procurement for school nutrition programs and institutional food service operations. State and local governments buying under this code are school districts and boards of education sourcing fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables to support child nutrition services, the National School Lunch Program, and School Breakfast Program compliance.
