UNSPSC 50585412: Non GMO aji dulces peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO aji dulces 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 50585412 Non GMO aji dulces peppers is a Commodity code covering specialty fresh produce items for food service and institutional meal programs. State and local governments solicit produce under this code through school districts, county parks and recreation departments, county health systems, and state purchasing offices. The work encompasses procurement of fresh fruits and vegetables, including specialty pepper varieties, for cafeteria operations, institutional kitchens, concession facilities, and food service vendors meeting quality standards, food safety compliance, and delivery schedules.
