Whole Foods admits its organic food contains GMO ingredients

Genetically modified foods have become so ubiquitous in the US 
A representative for the corporation acknowledged in May of 2011 that the realities of the marketplace 
have forced a shift in the company's previous no-GMO's policy.

Joe Dickson, quality standards coordinator for Whole Foods Markets, notes that GMO's dominate the market, especially for corn, soy and canola crops from which ingredients in most processed foods are derived.

"Until there's federal government mandated labeling of GMO ingredients, 
there's no way to tell if packaged products contain GMO ingredients,"
