UNSPSC 50553649: Canned or jarred non GMO sangiovese grapes

The variety of non GMO wine grapes known as non GMO sangiovese grapes 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 50553649 Canned or jarred non-GMO sangiovese grapes is a Commodity code that captures state and local procurement of shelf-stable fruit products for institutional food service. Recent solicitations show state and local agencies purchasing canned and jarred fruit products—primarily applesauce, dried fruit bars, and fresh produce—for school nutrition programs, correctional facilities, senior services, state-supported living centers, and board of education food service operations. The buying pattern reflects institutional kitchen supply needs across multiple food-service models, from daily meal production to emergency or supplemental nutrition programs. Issuing bodies include state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of education and commissioners, independent school districts, municipal boards of education, and state-operated residential facilities. The code sees regular activity from Georgia, Texas, Illinois, Oregon, and Connecticut jurisdictions.
