UNSPSC 50585425: Non GMO jalapeño peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO jalapeno 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 50585425 Non GMO jalapeño peppers is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure fresh produce items—specifically non-GMO jalapeños and other fresh vegetables and fruits—for food service operations across parks, schools, healthcare facilities, and state agencies. The scope encompasses both standalone produce procurement and inclusion within broader food-service vendor contracts that specify product sourcing, quality standards, delivery schedules, and compliance with food-safety regulations. Issuing bodies include county parks and recreation departments, school districts, state procurement offices, and healthcare coalitions seeking to stock cafeterias, concession facilities, and institutional dining programs with fresh produce meeting specified quality, sourcing, and nutritional criteria.
