I find the first section exceptionally problematic and misleading, it reads in part:

  As a reminder, the only items for which a GMO counterpart 
  is currently available to consumers are: alfalfa, canola, 
  corn (field and sweet, but not popcorn), cotton, papaya, 
  potatoes, soybeans (but not tofu or edamame varieties), 
  sugar beet, and squash. Genetically engineered apples and 
  salmon will be available soon.
The implication is 'you should not worry because there aren't many GMO products out there any way'; but this glosses over the fact that soy and corn constitute major ingredients in to many, many products (many of which you would not necessarily think contain either).
