UNSPSC 50583010: Non GMO rosette bok choy

The variety of Non GMO chinese cabbage known as Non GMO rosette bok choy. 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 50583010 Non GMO rosette bok choy is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fresh vegetables for food service operations — primarily for school nutrition programs, public parks and recreation concessions, healthcare facilities, and state institutional food service. The code appears in recent solicitations that treat produce as part of broader food-supply contracts rather than as line items for a single vegetable variety; the recent opportunities reflect procurement focused on diverse fresh-vegetable assortments meeting food-safety compliance, domestic sourcing preferences, and nutritional standards such as low-sodium and added-sugar-free formulations.
