UNSPSC 50602001: Frozen Non GMO broccolini

The variety of Non GMO broccoli known as Non GMO broccolini that have been frozen 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 50602001 Frozen Non GMO broccolini is a Commodity code that in practice encompasses shelf-stable and frozen produce items, proteins, dairy, grains, and miscellaneous food products procured by state and local governments for institutional feeding programs, senior services, and school meal operations.
