UNSPSC 50615909: Canned or jarred Non GMO red potato onions

The variety of Non GMO shallots known as Non GMO red potato onions 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.

UNSPSC 50615909 Canned or jarred Non GMO red potato onions, a Commodity code, describes shelf-stable canned and jarred vegetables that state and local governments procure for institutional food service—primarily canteens, kitchens, and dining facilities at state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. The code sees active buying from state health and human services commissions, state corrections departments, county boards of commissioners, county school districts, and state agencies. Work under this code consists of supplying bulk canned or jarred vegetable products with detailed product specifications, USDA grading requirements, shelf-life minimums, and nutritional content standards (sodium limits, whole grain options) to support meal preparation and snack provision across institutional settings.
