UNSPSC 50582705: Non GMO giant pink celery

The variety of Non GMO celery known as Non GMO giant pink celery. 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 50582705 Non GMO giant pink celery is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fresh produce — primarily vegetables and fruits delivered to food-service operations across parks, schools, healthcare facilities, and state agencies. Recent solicitations show the code spans fresh-produce supply to institutional food-service programs, including school lunch and breakfast operations, regional park concessions, healthcare coalition kitchens, and state food-supply contracts. Issuing bodies include county park authorities, independent school districts, state procurement offices, and healthcare coalitions. The work involves sourcing, quality assurance, delivery logistics, temperature control, stock rotation, compliance with food-safety regulations and USDA standards, and adherence to domestic-sourcing and nutritional-preference requirements.
