I have heard many claim that Cheerios contains GM ingredients, I have yet to hear someone claim otherwise.

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.

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

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).
