I am spending more and more time in the supermarket to read the labels and if I can't find for example the GM free info on the pasta I won't buy it! I know it's mandatory in Australia to put it on the label if it's GM but so far I only can find the GM free label... The big scare is that a lot of the food for animals are genetically manipulated which is not labeled at all... 
A short introduction to on Genetically Modified food you can find here. For more GM info focussed on Australia and New Zealand check this.
The True Food Guide asks all the food producers if they've got GM in their products. Green = ok, red = not ok, or didn't answer.
