UNSPSC 50585430: Non GMO pequin peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO pequin 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 50585430 Non GMO pequin peppers is a Commodity code representing specialized fresh produce items purchased by state and local governments for food service operations. State and local buyers under this code procure fresh vegetables and peppers—including non-GMO varieties—for institutional food service, concession operations, school meal programs, and healthcare facility kitchens.
