UNSPSC 50585435: Non GMO tabasco peppers

The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO tabasco 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 50585435 Non GMO tabasco peppers is a Commodity code capturing fresh produce and specialty pepper varieties procured by state and local food service operations. The work actually being solicited under this code spans fresh produce supply for school nutrition programs, regional park concessions, health care coalitions, and state institutional food service — with vendors supplying produce items meeting food safety standards, delivery schedules, and quality specifications. School districts are the most active issuing bodies under this code, followed by county parks departments, regional health care organizations, and state procurement offices; state food service bids and school lunch program awards represent the bulk of recent activity.
