Are There Any Foods That Contain Biotech Crops in Stores Today?

Yes. According to Agribiotech.info,

"about 60 percent to 70 percent of all processed foods now contain at least one ingredient from a genetically engineered plant."

Because the major biotech crops on the marketplace today are corn, cotton, canola and soybeans, many processed products come from biotech crops. Additionally, soft drinks with corn syrup or sweetener, as well as soy-based foods and drinks, also contain biotech ingredients. A brief stroll down the cookie aisle will reveal products with a number of biotech-derived ingredients. Beyond food items, many other products, from toilet paper to shampoo, also contain ingredients from biotech crops.
