UNSPSC 50592304: Dried Non GMO white cabbages

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO white cabbage that has 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 50592304 Dried Non GMO white cabbages is a Commodity code that captures dried vegetable products, particularly non-GMO white cabbage, solicited by state and local school districts and institutional food-service agencies as components of larger fresh-produce and grocery-item procurement packages. State and local governments acquire dried cabbage alongside broader fresh-produce and consumable-food lots to support school lunch programs, institutional feeding operations, and senior meal services. The issuing bodies include school districts (ranging from individual county boards of education to regional consolidated districts), state-supported living centers, county boards of commissioners coordinating senior nutrition services, and city departments of public purchases on behalf of school boards. The code sits at the intersection of nutritionally regulated food service—school districts must meet Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards, Buy American domestic-content provisions (typically 51 percent minimum for processed agricultural commodities), and HACCP food-safety protocols—and operational logistics including firm fixed pricing, standardized pallet specifications, and emergency backup-stock availability.
