5. I don't think so. If something doesn't have GMOs, producer is going to label it as "100% Organic"

Anything without that label likely contains GMOs. I think people who really care, know that. Everyone else is fine with GMOs, and isn't going to pay more for an organic product.

Labels are fine, but they really aren't needed. I don't know if there is a national standard or not, but there ought to be.
