UNSPSC 50583318: Non GMO national pickling cucumbers

The variety of Non GMO cucumbers known as Non GMO national pickling 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 50583318 Non GMO national pickling cucumbers is a Commodity code that covers fresh produce supply to state and local government food-service operations, including schools, parks, healthcare facilities, and other institutional venues.

The issuing bodies span school districts, county parks and recreation departments, state procurement offices, and healthcare coalitions. Early County Board of Education, Collier County Parks and Recreation Division, Marion Health Care Coalition, and the State of Georgia all solicited produce or food services in recent months, indicating steady demand across institutional food service.
