UNSPSC 50596418: Dried Non GMO san marzano tomatoes

The variety of Non GMO tomatoes known as Non GMO san marzano tomatoes 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 50596418 Dried Non GMO san marzano tomatoes is a Commodity code covering specialty dried tomato products used in food service, school nutrition programs, and institutional kitchens.

Issuing bodies include school districts (board of education nutrition departments), county governments, state health and human services agencies, and municipalities acquiring food for cafeteria operations, senior meal programs, and institutional food service.
