UNSPSC 50595304: Dried Non GMO spanish peanuts

The variety of Non GMO peanuts known as Non GMO spanish peanuts that have 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 50595304 Dried Non GMO Spanish Peanuts is a Commodity code that covers dried peanuts for food service use in school nutrition, senior meal programs, and institutional food supply chains. State and local governments procure dried peanuts primarily as ingredients for school cafeteria operations, congregate meal services, and institutional food preparation rather than as standalone snack items. Issuing bodies include school boards and districts (elementary, middle, and high schools), county boards of education, county commissioners' offices managing senior nutrition programs, state health and human services agencies operating residential facilities, and state procurement departments supplying multiple institutional food service operations. School nutrition departments represent the largest buyer category, soliciting packaged food items and fresh or dried produce across multi-line grocery bids subject to USDA Buy American requirements (51 percent domestic agricultural content), Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act nutrition standards, nut-free facility policies, and National School Lunch Program compliance.
