Excerpt:
This guide was compiled based on company statements, not genetic testing. Any product labeled as Non- GMO indicates that its manufacturing process is designed to avoid GMOs, but consumers should be aware that GM contam- ination is possible due to natural pollen movement, weather events, seed contamination, or human error. Hence there is no guarantee such products are 100% free of GMOs.

Excerpt 2:
TIP #3: AVOID AT-RISK INGREDIENTS
Avoid products made with any of the crops that are GM. Most GM ingredients are products made from the “Big Four:” corn, soybeans, canola, and cottonseed, used in processed foods.

Some of the most common genetically engineered Big Four ingredients in processed foods are:

Corn
■ Corn flour, meal, oil, starch, gluten, and syrup
■ Sweeteners such as fructose, dextrose, and glucose
■ Modified food starch*

Soy
■ Soy flour, lecithin, protein, isolate, and isoflavone
■ Vegetable oil* and vegetable protein*

Canola
Canola oil (also called rapeseed oil)

Cotton
Cottonseed oil

*May be derived from other sources

Additionally, GM sugar beet sugar recently entered the food supply. Look for organic and non-GMO sweeteners, candy and chocolate products made with 100% cane sugar, evaporated cane juice, agave, or organic sugar, to avoid GM beet sugar.
