UNSPSC 50593250: Dried Non GMO quickie corn

The variety of Non GMO corn known as Non GMO quickie 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.

The work involves specification compliance around whole grain content, allergen disclosure (nut-free formulations), nutritional documentation, and delivery logistics tied to school calendar cycles and LINQ or similar ordering systems. Issuing bodies include independent school districts, county boards of education, state health and human services agencies managing residential or congregate meal facilities, and municipal education departments.
