UNSPSC 50591833: Dried Non GMO kidney beans

The variety of Non GMO beans known as Non GMO kidney 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 50591833 Dried Non GMO kidney beans is a Commodity-level code covering dried legume products purchased by state and local food service operations, including school districts, county nutrition programs, and state-supported living facilities.
