UNSPSC 50555311: Canned or jarred non GMO crest haven peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO crest haven peaches 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 50555311 Canned or jarred non-GMO Crest Haven peaches (Commodity) represents shelf-stable canned fruit products that state and local governments procure for food service operations across correctional facilities, schools, senior centers, state hospitals, and state supported living centers. Recent solicitations show the code captures a broad set of canned fruit purchases—not peaches exclusively—including applesauce, mixed fruits, and other preserved produce items sourced through open competitive bidding. Issuing bodies include state corrections departments, state health and human services agencies, county boards of education, school districts, county senior services programs, and municipal school nutrition centers.
