UNSPSC 50621506: Non GMO midi artichoke purees

The variety of Non GMO artichokes known as Non GMO midi artichokes. 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 50621506 Non GMO midi artichoke purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments procure this code as part of broad food-service supply contracts for institutional dining, though the recent opportunities block shows no specific solicitations for artichoke purees themselves. Instead, entities are buying general shelf-stable and prepared food products for canteens, kitchens, and food-service operations at state facilities, schools, and correctional institutions. The actual purchasing pattern reflects bulk food commodities including frozen proteins, canned vegetables, dairy, grains, condiments, and food-service supplies delivered on firm, fixed pricing with FOB Destination terms and delivery within seven days to thirty days of order.
