UNSPSC 50593222: Dried Non GMO early xtra sweet corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO early xtra sweet corn 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 50593222 Dried Non-GMO early extra sweet corn, a Commodity code, covers dried corn products procured by state and local governments primarily for school nutrition programs, institutional food service, and commodity-based meal programs. State and local solicitations under this code reflect actual purchasing of packaged, processed food ingredients that meet USDA nutrition standards, Buy American provisions requiring minimum domestic agricultural content, and Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act compliance for school lunch and breakfast programs. Issuing bodies include school districts, state health and human services agencies operating institutional facilities, county boards of education, and county government nutrition and senior services departments.
