According to Just Label It, the five "must avoid" products that are likely to contain genetically modified foods or ingredients include corn, soy, canola, cotton and sugar made from beets -- not sugar made from cane, which is not genetically modified. If you do buy products with any of these ingredients, one way to be 100 percent sure they're not genetically modified is to look for the USDA certified organic mark, which prohibits the use of genetic engineering.
