from wikipedia:
Foods claiming to be organic must be free of artificial food additives, and
are often processed with fewer artificial methods, materials and conditions,
such as chemical ripening, food irradiation, and genetically modified ingre
dients.
It doesn't say OF has to be GMO-free.

GMO Food: Genetically-modified organisms. This refers to the act of
scientifically modifying the genetic structure of an organism. The resultant
organism will have specifically defined characteristics. This is frequently
done with seeds for crops. In the U.S., most of our soybeans, corn, cotton,
and canola are genetically modified. Recently, the U.S. allowed GMO alfalfa
to be planted without restriction. The genetically modified seeds can be
patented. After all, the research to make them costs money. The argument for
seed patents is that the investor must receive a return, or there will be
no more investment money for research.
Until recently, I assumed GMO food could not be called “organic.” The U.S.
and Canada both prohibit 100% certified organic food from containing GMO
ingredients. However, contamination of the crops may cause organic feed to
contain some percentage of GMO ingredients. At the Straus Family Creamery in
California, for example, Farmer Straus spent nearly $10,000 tracing back
the ingredients in his organic supplies, to remove the GMO traces. Basically
, the problem is that GMO crops spew pollen into the air, as all crops do.
This pollen cross-breeds with organic feed, which pollutes and corrupts the
organic farms.
It is a normal practice for organic farmers to save their seed for the next
year. With GMO crops growing nearby, however, the organic crops become
infected with the GMO seed. When the farmer saves his seed, he is then
infringing on Monsanto Corporation’s patent. Monsanto issued policies about
patent infringement and their methods of enforcing patent law on these
seeds. In these policies, Monsanto takes the position that their patented
seed is desirable, and therefore the farmers who normally save their own
seed are taking something away from the company.
Organic farmers point out that they are no longer organic when their seed is
contaminated by genetically-engineered cross-pollination. They are the
victim, not the perpetrator. The Monsanto Corporation protests that it has
sued only 145 farmers for patent violation. Meanwhile, the Organic Consumers
Organization has organized a Millions Against Monsanto campaign to pressure
Congress to force foods to be labeled as GMO. This would allow consumers to
decide whether they will risk their health with GMO foods. The FDA does not
determine whether or not GMO is safe. It only determines whether evidence
has been provided to declare it unsafe. No evidence, no reason not to eat it.
Of course, whether GMO food is safe will not be determined until after
people have eaten it for 20 or more years. By that time, non-GMO seeds may
no longer be available on the planet, as the wind and the birds cross-
pollinate our fields. Although dramatic increases in the incidence of
allergies and immune system diseases have occurred over the last 20 years,
science have not been able to identify why this has happened.
