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 50582101 Non GMO citadel brussel sprouts is a Commodity code that spans fresh produce procurement by state and local food-service operations, including school districts, county parks departments, healthcare coalitions, and state purchasing offices. State and local governments buy fresh vegetables—including brussels sprouts and other produce items—through competitive solicitations to supply institutional food services, school meal programs, park concessions, and healthcare facilities. The work involves vendor qualification based on product quality, food-safety compliance, delivery reliability, and pricing competitiveness. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation departments, independent school districts, state departments of agriculture or general services, and healthcare coalitions. School districts dominate the recent solicitation mix, with early county boards of education and state purchasing offices issuing specifications for line-item produce bids tied to USDA nutrition standards and domestic-sourcing preferences.
