Per the FDA, you can't label foods as GMO free.  See this article for details - http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2010/09/18/fda-labeled-free-modification/ . The closest you can come is by being certifed organic which by definition will be GMO free.

Maybe we need reverse labeling.  Start a movement!  If everyone labels their corn that is non GMO, what is left?  It is then easy for the consumer to choose.  Who wouldn’t want to label their corn “NON GMO” if it isn’t?  That maybe the only way around a bad situation.  The USDA sure doesn’t care.
