UNSPSC 50616819: Canned or jarred Non GMO chrysanthemum greens

The variety of Non GMO vegetable known as Non GMO chrysanthemum greens 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 50616819 Canned or jarred Non GMO chrysanthemum greens is a Commodity code. State and local governments soliciting under this code are buying shelf-stable prepared food products for institutional food service operations, though recent activity shows the code is applied broadly to general canned and jarred vegetable procurement rather than specifically to Non GMO chrysanthemum greens. The issuing bodies span state agencies managing correctional and health facilities, county and city schools, and specialized state institutions. Texas Health and Human Services Commission, the Oregon Department of Corrections, Ben Hill County Schools, Burke County Public Schools, Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners, and the State of Illinois all appear in recent solicitations, with Texas state agencies notably active in food-service procurement for state supported living centers and prison systems.
