UNSPSC 50586849: Non GMO paprika

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO paprika. 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 50586849 Non GMO paprika is a Commodity code that captures specialty spice ingredients—specifically paprika certified non-GMO—purchased by state and local food service operations. In practice, the code sees solicitation activity from counties, school districts, and healthcare organizations that source ingredients for cafeteria operations, regional parks, and food service vendors. The work involves supplying compliance-verified paprika to institutional food programs where non-GMO sourcing is a stated procurement requirement, often as part of broader food and produce bids that emphasize ingredient transparency, food safety, and adherence to sourcing standards.
