UNSPSC 50551625: Canned or jarred non GMO jordanne apricots

The variety of non GMO apricots known as non GMO jordanne apricots that have been canned or jarred 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 50551625 Canned or jarred non-GMO Jordanne apricots is a Commodity code that state and local governments source primarily as part of broader food service and institutional nutrition procurement.
