UNSPSC 50593809: Dried Non GMO solent wight garlic

The variety of Non GMO garlic known as Non GMO solent wight garlic 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 50593809 Dried Non GMO solvent wight garlic is a Commodity code covering specialized dried garlic products for institutional food service. State and local governments buy this product as part of broader food procurement for school nutrition programs, state health and human services facilities, county senior meal services, and other institutional food operations. The code appears in solicitations alongside hundreds of other food line items—seasonings, vegetables, fruits, and prepared foods—bundled into master grocery or food supply contracts rather than solicited as a standalone product. Issuing bodies include school districts (primary), state health agencies, county boards of commissioners, and state departments of agriculture or nutrition services.
