UNSPSC 50585409: Non GMO manzano peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO manzano peppers. 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 50585409 Non GMO manzano peppers is a Commodity code that captures fresh produce procurement by state and local food-service operators, specifically non-GMO pepper varieties supplied to institutional kitchens, parks concessions, healthcare facilities, and school nutrition programs. State and local governments buy under this code when sourcing fresh vegetables for compliance-driven food-service contracts that emphasize produce variety, food safety, domestic sourcing, and operational continuity across multiple venues. The issuing bodies are typically county park systems, school districts, state purchasing offices, and healthcare coalitions—mixed institutional buyers with recurring seasonal produce needs and fixed menu cycles.
