The variety of Non GMO peppers known as Non GMO mirasol peppers 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 50605527 Frozen Non GMO mirasol peppers is a Commodity code that encompasses specialty produce items state and local governments procure primarily for food service programs, including school districts, county social services departments, and state purchasing cooperatives. State and local buyers source frozen mirasol peppers and comparable frozen specialty vegetables through competitive informal quotes and line-by-line food bids that bundle produce with broader food-service categories. The work is straightforward procurement of shelf-stable and frozen produce meeting branded or approved-equivalent specifications, delivered F.O.B.
