To avoid GM products, make sure to purchase only those items labeled as "Organic" or "Certified GMO Free" by the Non GMO Project, a third party certifier.

Regulation of food began as early as the 1800s and food labeling regulation arose out of that.

Why might people want genetically engineered food to be labeled?
Consumers want to have the tools necessary to choose for themselves whether or not to buy and eat GMO foods. Labeling is the only thing that will show them what foods do and do not contain GMOs, or at least so they think. In reality, cross pollination of GMO crops with non-GMO crops has resulted in almost all food types that have been genetically modified (corn, soybeans, papayas, canola, possibly wheat, sugar beats, sweet corn, and others), even ones labeled Non-GMO by the Non-GMO Project and organically grown crops, having at least a small percentage of GMOs.
What are some examples of gm food available to buy?
The availability of GM (genetically modified) food available depends on where you live. In some parts of the world, GM foods are banned for human consumption. In the US, most GM foods are considered by FDA (Food and Drug Administration) to be equivalent in nutritional value and safey to their non-GM counterparts. Most foods made in the US that contain soy, corn, or canola oil contain GMOs (genetically modified organisms), and you can't be sure unless the label says they DON'T contain these, because there is no rule to ensure GMO containing foods are labeled as such in the US (GMO labeling is voluntary in US). Some GM zucchini, apples, papayas, sugar beets, and milk are sold in supermarkets. In fact, it is hard to know which foods have GMO's and which do not, in the US.
