This means that they are produced without the use of methods that genetically modify organisms by means that are not possible under natural conditions.

Traditional methods of breeding, conjugation, fermentation, hybridization, in vitro fertilization, or tissue culture are considered to be non-GMO.

UNSPSC 50603008 Frozen Non GMO kasumi bok choy is a Commodity code that state and local governments buy primarily as part of broader food-service procurement — institutional food purchases for schools, senior services, and state facilities. The recent solicitations show that this code sits within larger food-supply contracts where frozen vegetables are line items among dozens of shelf-stable and refrigerated products rather than standalone procurements. Issuing bodies include county government purchasing divisions, state agencies, and school districts. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, the State of Georgia, and Early County Board of Education have posted food-service solicitations in the past six months that encompass frozen produce alongside proteins, dairy, grains, and non-food supplies. The school-district segment emphasizes domestic sourcing, whole-grain options, low-sodium formulations, and products without artificial additives, signaling that nutritional and origin specifications shape vendor selection.
