Buying organically raised food is the best way to avoid GM crops, but you should know that even some organic food is being contaminated by GM crops grown in the same area. (Seeds, wind, pollen, and insects are almost impossible to control.)
Soybeans and corn in the US are often genetically engineered. Cotton, canola, squash and papaya grown in the US are also frequently GM. This site has lists of foods to help you locate those you might want to avoid.
Dr. Mercola says to read the PLU stickers.
"Those little stickers on fruit and vegetables contain different PLU codes depending on whether the fruit was conventionally grown, organically grown or genetically engineered. The PLU code for conventionally grown fruit consists of four numbers, organically grown fruit five numbers prefaced by the number 9, and GM fruit five numbers prefaced by the number 8."
For example:
Conventionally grown PLU: 1022
Organically grown PLU: 91022
Genetically modified PLU: 81022
