More and more foods are contaminated with genetically modified ingredients. Here are the GM crops to look out for. If a product contains any of these ingredients and the ingredients themselves are not labeled non-GMO certified or organic certified, there’s a good chance they are GMOs.

1. Soy: 94 percent of the US soybean crop was genetically modified in 2011.

Watch out for: soybeans, tofu, soy sauce, miso, tempeh, and products containing lecithin. See the full list here >>

2. Cottonseed: 90 percent of the US cotton crop was genetically modified in 2011.

Watch out for: margarine, salad dressings, and frying oils.

3. Corn: 88 percent of the US corn crop was genetically modified in 2011.

Watch out for: in addition to corn itself, literally hundreds of processed foods contain corn in some form, including high-fructose corn syrup, corn starch, corn flour, corn oils. See the full list here >>

4. Canola Oil: 90 percent of the US canola crop was genetically modified in 2010.

Watch out for: canola cooking oils and sprays.

5. US Papaya: 80 percent of the US papaya crop was genetically modified in 2010.

Watch out for: all papaya grown in the US.

6. Sugar Beets: 95 percent of the US sugar beet crop was genetically modified in 2009.

Watch out for: bags of sugar and products containing conventional sugar that do not specify “pure cane sugar” likely contain sugar beets.

7. Aspartame: Aspartame, an artificial sweetener, is derived from genetically engineered microorganisms.

Watch out for: Nutrasweet, Equal, or anything containing aspartame.
