UNSPSC 50625506: Non GMO yellow potato purees

The variety of Non GMO potatoes known as Non GMO yellow potatoes. 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 50625506 Non GMO yellow potato purees is a Commodity code covering processed potato products, particularly purees and related potato preparations used in food service and institutional dining. State and local governments buying under this code procure ready-to-use potato products for congregate meal programs, typically in institutional settings such as state-supported living centers, correctional facilities, school nutrition programs, and county senior services. The work involves supplier qualification, delivery logistics, and compliance with USDA grading and food safety standards. Issuing bodies include state health and human services departments, departments of corrections, county boards of commissioners, and school district nutrition programs. The mix spans state-level procurement offices, county governments, and independent school districts.
