UNSPSC 50585200: Non GMO peanuts

The type of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO peanuts. 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 50585200 Non GMO peanuts is a Class code covering specialty agricultural commodities sourced for institutional food service, including school nutrition programs, healthcare facilities, and parks-and-recreation food operations. State and local buyers under this code procure fresh produce and specialty food items meeting specific dietary, sourcing, or quality requirements—including non-GMO, locally grown, or allergen-free products—as components of broader food-service supply contracts. Issuing bodies include county boards of education (particularly for National School Lunch Program compliance), county parks departments, healthcare facility networks, and state procurement offices consolidating food purchases across multiple agencies and institutions.
