The only so far available on the market are potatoes, tomatoes, soy, long grain rice, corn (maize), rape (called canola in the US), Quest tobacco (sold in the US), cotton (used for cotton seed oil used in cooking), Hawaiian papaya. & a few zucchini and yellow squashes (courgettes). Of these, the potatoes and tomatoes have been withdrawn from the market. So probably the only ones you need to ask if they are non-GMO are corn and squash. Zucchini come from Seminis seeds a Monasanto company. I guess apples and peppers are soon

Many if not most seeds purchased for home plantings have been genetically engineered. Nearly all flower, fruit and vegetable plants have been selected and reselected again and again over time to create hybrids of one form or another. The selections are meant to enhance certain traits and characteristics valued pertaining to the plant. For many plants, especially floral annuals, most of us wouldn't even recognise their naturalised growing state as compared to the hybrids and "selected" plants you see in the nursery for instance.
Interestingly, some seeds when taken from their hybrid or enhanced plant- will quickly result in a naturalised plant as soon as the first year planted.
(So, to answer you question... YES mostly all of them. (but not in a "mad scientist way", rather usually, through a "selection process way".)
