UNSPSC 50554940: Canned or jarred non GMO rose diamond nectarines

The variety of non GMO nectarines known as non GMO rose 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 50554940 Canned or jarred non-GMO rose diamond nectarines is a Commodity code that covers shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products purchased by state and local food service operations, including school districts, corrections departments, aging services agencies, and state-supported living facilities.
