UNSPSC 50604301: Frozen Non GMO azur star kohlrabi

The variety of Non GMO kohlrabi known as Non GMO azur star kohlrabi that has 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 50604301 Frozen Non GMO azur star kohlrabi is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty frozen vegetable products, though recent state and local procurement activity under this code centers more broadly on food purchasing for senior services, state institutional feeding programs, and school nutrition.
