I don't have a list yet but you can be pretty sure that snacks made with corn from the USA have GMO corn in them. I have read that about 97% of corn grown in the US is GMO. So, Cheetos, Doritos and other snacks imported from the US. You will need to discover the source of the corn which is in Philippine products such as Chippy. I read that GMO corn has been tested but I don't know if GMO corn is grown in the Philippines. In the US GMO soybeans are also grown. So, be careful of imported soy ingredients.

How do GMOs affect food?
GMO foods are basically the same as non-GMO foods except that they contain ingredients that have been genetically engineered.

The technology is relatively young and the effects of eating GMO foods has not been determined.
