they are all genetically modified, even if it's not in the way whcih we all think now adays with the splicing of genes and such we've always genetically modified our food even going back to the native american s of old, they would only plant the corn curnals coming from the plant that bore the most curnals. the original ear of corn was only 6-8 curnals large.
now on to more or less what your thinking of: Typically, genetically modified foods are transgenic plant products: soybean, corn, canola, and cotton seed oil.
Soybeans: Herbicide resistant gene taken from bacteria inserted into soybean (makes them able to withstand herbasiceds making more of them available)
