I think some of the commercial growers here can answer in details, but you can't just buy GMO seeds off the shelf because you have to sign some kind of agreement and pay royalty fee. It's a copyrighted intellectual property. Maybe there could be contamination, but don't I think they go out there way to sell GMO seeds over the shelf, it's just not their business, and probably gets the seeds re-seller in trouble. If you are concerned you can get USDA Organic labeled packages, or from places like Seeds Saver Exchange.
