UNSPSC 50554937: Canned or jarred non GMO red jim nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO red jim 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 50554937 Canned or jarred non-GMO red jim nectarines is a Commodity code that encompasses shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products, though recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show demand for a much broader range of food commodities beyond the nectarines the code nominally specifies. State and local buyers soliciting under this code include county boards of education, county departments of community services, state corrections and health agencies, municipal school districts, and state departments of health and human services. The work involves procuring shelf-stable food products for institutional food service—schools, corrections facilities, veterans' homes, senior services centers, and state-supported living centers. Representative purchases span canned applesauce, canned proteins, dried fruit bars, apple crisps, fresh produce, and broader commodity line items of proteins, dairy, grains, and frozen specialty foods alongside fruit products.
