Everything in the food chain is directly, or the byproduct of genetic modification - either microscopically, or, macroscopically via hybrids & selective breeding. The only way to avoid eating genetically modified food is to die.

You just might. Being approved for organic farming means next to nothing about whether it is harmful to humans. But have a nice helping of rotenone and copper fungicides, also approved for organic uses. But also be ready for quick trip to your nearest toxic substance treatment facility.

Probably the most common reason a pesticide or fungicide is approved for organic farming is that it degrades and becomes harmless in the environment within a reasonable time, NOT that it is necessarily harmless to humans.
