UNSPSC 50583902: Non GMO english peas

The variety of Non GMO green peas known as Non GMO english peas. 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 50583902 Non GMO English peas, a Commodity code, covers fresh produce sourcing for state and local operations, particularly school districts, healthcare facilities, and county parks purchasing fresh vegetables and fruits for food-service operations.
