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).

UNSPSC 50611725 Canned or jarred non-GMO Dr Dupuis number 2 avocados (Commodity) does not reflect meaningful recent state and local procurement activity under this code; the recent solicitations tagged to it actually solicit broad shelf-stable food procurement for institutional food service, including canned vegetables, proteins, dairy, grains, and consumable supplies, with no specific focus on avocados or non-GMO specialty produce. Issuing bodies across the past five months include state health and human services agencies (Texas Health and Human Services Commission, Texas Department of Criminal Justice via the Comptroller of Public Accounts), state departments of corrections (Oregon), school districts (Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools in Georgia), county purchasing offices (Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Georgia), and state procurement divisions (Illinois, Georgia). Texas Health and Human Services Commission appears repeatedly, having posted at least three separate IFBs for food and consumables at state supported living centers and affiliated facilities. The scope of work being solicited under these notices spans hundreds of line items—proteins, frozen specialty foods, fresh and frozen produce, dairy, grains, condiments, baking supplies, beverages, and food service supplies such as containers, napkins, and gloves—all destined for institutional meal service in state hospitals, supported living centers, correctional facilities, senior services, and school cafeterias.
