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 50593256 Dried Non GMO seneca white knight corn is a Commodity code representing a single agricultural product line. State and local governments procure dried corn primarily as a food service input for school meal programs, senior nutrition services, and institutional food operations. Recent solicitations show purchasing driven by National School Lunch Program compliance, Buy American domestic-content requirements (typically 51 percent of processed agricultural ingredients), and adherence to Healthy Hunger Free Kids Act nutrition standards.
