UNSPSC 50586820: Non GMO dandelion greens

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO dandelion greens. 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 50586820 Non GMO dandelion greens is a Commodity code covering specialty produce items sourced for institutional food service operations across state and local jurisdictions. State and local governments actually buy this code through food-service procurement for parks and recreation facilities, healthcare coalitions, state institutional feeding programs, and school districts operating breakfast and lunch programs. The code encompasses fresh produce meeting specific quality, safety, and sourcing standards — including non-GMO certification where required — delivered to multiple operational locations on established schedules. Issuing bodies include county parks departments, regional healthcare organizations, state education agencies, and individual school districts, each with distinct operational timelines and compliance requirements tied to USDA nutrition standards, food-safety regulations, and institutional procurement rules.
