UNSPSC 50591814: Dried Non GMO cannellini beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO cannellini beans that have been dried for preservation. 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 50591814 Dried Non GMO cannellini beans is a Commodity code under which state and local governments procure dried bean products for institutional food service, primarily school nutrition programs and congregate meal services for seniors and residents of state-supported facilities. Recent solicitations show dried and processed legumes appearing as line items within larger grocery and food-service contracts rather than as standalone purchases, typically bundled with fresh produce, frozen goods, dairy, and other staple foods to meet National School Lunch Program compliance and nutrition standards under the Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act. Issuing bodies include school districts and boards of education at the district level, county governments, state health and human services commissions, and county commissioners' offices managing senior nutrition programs. The scope of work involves meeting Buy American Provision requirements (minimum 51 percent domestic agricultural content in processed products), compliance with USDA and state health inspection standards, HACCP planning, nutritional labeling, allergen restrictions (no nuts or nut oils), and whole grain or nutrition-standard compliance as applicable to the purchasing agency's program.
