UNSPSC 50557223: Canned or jarred non GMO nyons olives

The variety of non GMO olives known as non GMO nyons olives 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 50557223 Canned or jarred non-GMO non-olives is a Commodity code. State and local governments use this code to procure shelf-stable canned and jarred produce for institutional food service, including canned fruit (particularly applesauce), canned vegetables, and related pantry staples for corrections facilities, state hospitals, schools, senior centers, and other public venues. Recent opportunities show the code spanning general food procurement for nutrition programs and emergency food assistance, alongside more targeted produce items. The issuing bodies include state departments (corrections, health and human services), county boards of education, cities, independent school districts, and county social services departments. Georgia, Texas, Oregon, Illinois, and Connecticut dominate recent activity.
