I'm still looking for some GMO-free tortillas. There are several "brands" at my local grocery but they are all owned by the Gruma Corporation: huge brands like Mission and Guerrero, and even some "homemade"- looking brands. How can I tell? Well the first clue is the ingredients. They are all the same. Worded exactly the same, in the same order. Hmmm, suspicious. But just a quick Internet search confirms that Gruma owns Mission, Maseca, and Guerrero.
I want to buy corn tortillas that 1) do not contain GM corn 2) do not contain wheat and 3) the corn in the tortillas have been treated with lime, which is a good thing, making vitamin B3 available and therefore more nutritious.
So, since I can't find them at the local grocery, I guess I will have to make my own! I'm going to follow this recipe: http://www.plantoeat.com/blog/2013/05/non-gmo-corn-tortillas/
using Bob's Red Mill.

Mission does not use GMO products. This link is directly from their website.
That is posted from their website in Australia, if you go to Mission's equivalent American site you will notice that the GMO question and it's answer are oddly absent.

Hence, it confirms that they do use GMO corn in US tortillas - pretty ridiculous if you ask me.
