UNSPSC 50611736: Canned or jarred Non GMO haas avocados

The variety of Non GMO avocados known as Non GMO haas avocados that have been canned or jarred 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.

These agencies source through IFBs and informal written quotes, with a mix of requirements including USDA grade compliance, FDA standards, shelf-life guarantees, brand-specific or equivalent options, delivery within 3 to 30 days, and F.O.B.
