UNSPSC 50555347: Canned or jarred non GMO rich lady peaches

The variety of non GMO peaches known as non GMO rich lady 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 50555347 Canned or jarred non-GMO rich lady peaches is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure shelf-stable canned and jarred fruit products for institutional food service, including school nutrition programs, corrections facilities, senior services, and state-supported living centers.
