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.

Issuing bodies span state departments of health and human services, departments of corrections, county school districts, county social-services divisions, and individual school nutrition programs, with Texas Health and Human Services Commission appearing as a repeat buyer across multiple state supported-living-center contracts.
