If you are looking to avoid GMO foods, the good news is that by law, anything labeled organic must also be non-GMO. Plus, there are strict limitations to the types of deterrents used to avoid pests and weeds. Most synthetic substances are not allowed, but many barriers, soap-, animal- or plant-based substances are.
The USDA keeps a current list of allowed substances for organic foods.
Animals raised organically must be raised in a way that allows for their natural behavior and be given only organic feed. They also may not receive any antibiotics or hormones.
