According to The Huffington Post, GMOs can be found in all tortillas, rice and all of the varieties of meat, except pork carnitas.

There is at least one well known investor / analyst that has been quoted
in news pieces on CNN and elsewhere. I don't recall the name, but you
could probably dig up those articles.
