In the United States, GMO foods are not labeled, even though at least 70% of the processed foods sold in grocery stores contain GMO ingredients.
Not usually, though there is a grassroots movement to get it labeled.
All genetically modified should be labeled so consumers can make their own decision as to whether or not to purchase them.
GMO foods are not labeled because the FDA does not require them to be labeled. They consider them to be "substantially equivalent" to non-GMO foods, so they don't feel there is a need to label them, even though a large percentage of consumers want them to be labeled.

Any food can be genetically modified through genetic engineering. Three foods that have been genetically engineered are corn, soy, and canola.
Genetically modified foods will go bad. The only thing that is different is the size and nutritional value of it.
Doritos themselves are not classified as genetically modified organisms (GMOs) in Australia; however, some of the ingredients used in Doritos, such as corn, may come from genetically modified crops. In Australia, foods that contain GM ingredients must be labeled accordingly. Therefore, while the chips may include GMO-derived components, Doritos as a product are not inherently genetically modified.
In general, non-genetically modified foods of any type (including whole soybeans) are preferred to the their genetically modified counterparts because the long-term health effects of consuming genetically modified foods have not been properly documented yet. There may be unanticipated health risks with consuming certain genetically modified foods.
Genetically modified
Genetically enhanced. Pretty much the same as genetically modified.
Probably. Because genetically modified foods (GMO) are not required to be labeled as such, it is difficult to know for certain. But it is very likely that food staples produced by huge corporations such as Monsanto or Cargil are genetically modified. I suspect most of the corn, soybeans and wheat produced in the U.S. are GMO.
Any food that comes from a plant, animal, or other living thing can be genetically modified.
