Best Answer

A GM food is one that has been genetically modified, most often to resist a herbicide like Round-up or to produce a substance that kills insects.

In the United States, it is impossible to know if a food in grocery stores contains GMOs because they are not labeled. It is; however, safe to assume that almost all non-organic processed foods likely contain some GMO ingredients since many contain corn or soy and both are widely planted in the U.S. Labels will not always list corn or soy, even though they are in the product. An example is high fructose corn syrup, which is derived from corn.
