UNSPSC 50554916: Canned or jarred non GMO early diamond nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO early diamond nectarines 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 50554916 Canned or jarred non-GMO early diamond nectarines is a Commodity code that state and local governments procure as part of larger food service contracts for schools, corrections facilities, senior services centers, and state-supported living centers. The code represents shelf-stable fruit products sourced through competitive procurement alongside broader food supply agreements; recent solicitations show this item appearing within multi-category food and consumable bids rather than as standalone nectarine procurements.
