UNSPSC 50555716: Canned or jarred non GMO flavorella plucot

The variety of non GMO plucots known as non GMO flavorella plucot that has 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 50555716 Canned or jarred non GMO flavorella plucot is a Commodity code covering shelf-stable fruit products in rigid containers for institutional food service. State and local governments purchase canned applesauce, canned fruit assortments, and related preserved fruit items under this code to supply school districts, correctional facilities, health and human services institutions, senior services programs, and county nutrition centers. The work involves bid management, vendor qualification, compliance with USDA commodity specifications and FDA standards, and delivery logistics to centralized distribution points or multiple facility locations.
