Why wouldn't Cheerios contain GM corn?
Currently, U.S. food makers are not required to label their products as GM, non-GM, Organic, etc. Generally, beyond the mandatory USDA nutrition/ ingredients label, any other label that is placed on the package is done voluntarily.
I have heard many claim that Cheerios contains GM ingredients, I have yet to hear someone claim otherwise.

Is the Non-GMO Project good?
Yes, the Non-GMO Project is good, but it is a bit misleading. Though they test each product before the product is listed as non-GMO, many people may not realize that foods do not have to be totally free of GMOs to be listed. The foods may contain a certain amount of GMOs, which means that any product on the list may not be totally free of GMOs.
Do lays potato chips contain GMOs?
Foods in the United States are not labeled for GMOs, so there is no way to know beyond any doubt whether Lays potato chips contain GMOs. The potatoes used to make the chips are probably not GMO because there are no known varieties of genetically modified potatoes being sold commercially (as of May 2014). It is; however, likely that GMO oils are used to fry the chips, since a huge percentage of corn, soybeans, and canola grown in the United States is GMO.

That depends on what you mean by "What can we do…" If you mean how can we stop GMO foods or how can we avoid eating them, the answer is simple. Stop buying foods that you think might contain GMOs.

Apparently, sales dropped to the point that General Mills was losing money, so they modified the ingredients to eliminate GMOs in Cheerios.

GMOs are guaranteed not to be found in which type of food?
There are no foods that contain corn, soy, canola, papayas, or any foods that are known to have been genetically modified that can be guaranteed NOT to contain any GMOs, not even foods labeled "100% organic" or foods on the Non-GMO Project's list of non-GMO foods. This is due to GMO varieties cross-pollinating with organically grown crops, which has resulted in the possibility, if not probability of organically grown foods having small amounts of GMOs in them. The foods on the Non-GMO Project list can actually contain up to 0.9% GMOs (as stated on the Non-GMO Project's website).
