UNSPSC 50555323: Canned or jarred non GMO fire prince peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO fire prince 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 50555323 Canned or jarred non-GMO fire prince peaches is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure canned and jarred fruit products—including applesauce, peaches, and other shelf-stable fruit items—primarily for institutional food service in schools, correctional facilities, veterans' homes, senior centers, and health and human services facilities.
