UNSPSC 50583313: Non GMO karela cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO karela cucumbers. 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 50583313 Non GMO karela cucumbers is a Commodity code covering fresh produce procurement by state and local government entities.
