UNSPSC 50626011: Non GMO space spinach purees

The variety of Non GMO spinach known as Non GMO space spinach. 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 50626011 Non GMO space spinach purees is a Commodity code. State and local governments procuring under this code are buying fresh and frozen produce items, canned goods, dairy products, proteins, grains, condiments, and consumable food-service supplies to feed students in school nutrition programs, residents and patients in state-supported living facilities, inmates in correctional institutions, and staff at state agencies. Recent opportunities show school districts, state departments of corrections, state health and human services commissions, and state veterans' homes as the primary issuing bodies.
