The variety of Non GMO chicory known as Non GMO sanda chicory. 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 50622908 Non GMO sanda chicory purees (Commodity) does not appear in recent state and local procurement activity. The code shows no relevant recent solicitations; the opportunities tagged to this code involve general food service consumables—canned vegetables, proteins, fresh produce, and food service supplies—for state institutions, school districts, and county operations, but none specify chicory purees or products matching the code's narrow definition. State and local buyers are actively procuring food items across multiple jurisdictions, but the actual work being solicited emphasizes shelf-stable staples, fresh and frozen proteins, dairy, condiments, and disposable food-service supplies rather than specialty ingredients like non-GMO chicory purees.
