UNSPSC 50581918: Non GMO monaco beets

The variety of Non GMO beets known as Non GMO monaco beets. 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 50581918 Non GMO monaco beets is a Commodity code that encompasses fresh produce procurement for state and local food-service operations, including school nutrition programs, park concessions, healthcare facilities, and state institutional food systems. Recent solicitations show state and local governments buying fresh vegetables and fruits as line items within broader food-supply contracts, often bundled with proteins, dairy, grains, and non-food supplies rather than as standalone commodity purchases. The issuing bodies span school districts, county parks and recreation divisions, state purchasing offices, and healthcare coalitions — a diverse mix reflecting the pervasiveness of institutional food service across multiple public sectors.
