UNSPSC 50606867: Frozen Non GMO yu choy

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO yu choy 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 50606867 Frozen Non GMO yu choy is a Commodity code that represents a single frozen vegetable product line procured by school districts and state purchasing offices for meal-service operations. State and local governments buy frozen non-GMO yu choy primarily through school nutrition programs serving elementary through high school populations, often as part of broader fresh-produce and frozen-vegetable procurement contracts that emphasize whole-food ingredients, low-sodium formulations, and products without artificial additives. School districts across Georgia, Missouri, and Texas have issued recent solicitations encompassing dozens of frozen and fresh produce line items alongside broader grocery categories; yu choy as a frozen commodity sits within these multi-item produce bids rather than as standalone unit purchases. The buying pattern reflects state and local emphasis on USDA compliance, Buy American provisions, domestic sourcing preferences where available, and food-safety standards including HACCP plan requirements and immediate recall capability.
