UNSPSC 50582302: Non GMO savoy cabbages

The variety of Non GMO cabbages known as Non GMO savoy cabbages. 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 50582302 Non GMO savoy cabbages is a Commodity-level code tracking fresh produce procurement by state and local food-service buyers. State and local governments buy vegetables and fresh produce under this code primarily through school districts, county parks and recreation departments, healthcare coalitions, and state purchasing offices for use in cafeterias, concession facilities, and institutional meal programs. The work spans routine delivery of fresh produce to meet operational menus, compliance with food safety and USDA standards, seasonal sourcing, and pricing that reflects market availability. Issuing bodies include school districts managing National School Lunch Program and School Breakfast Program operations, county government parks divisions operating concession facilities, state purchasing offices coordinating institutional food procurement, and specialized healthcare coalitions sourcing for member organizations.
