The variety of non GMO apples known as non GMO wealthy apples which have been pureed

UNSPSC 50561591 Non GMO wealthy apple purees is a Commodity code that covers preserved apple products—primarily canned applesauce and dried fruit bars—purchased by state agencies, school districts, and local health and human services facilities for food service, institutional nutrition programs, and consumable supply chains. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying applesauce in bulk institutional quantities (cases and truck loads), dried fruit bars for school food service, and apple-based products as line items within broader food procurement bundles that include proteins, vegetables, dairy, and prepared foods.

Issuing bodies span state departments of corrections and health services, county boards of education, city school districts, and state-supported living facilities, with school nutrition operations and correctional food service representing the primary institutional buyers.
