Corn, rice, everything
If you are a farmer, you know the corn you are gowing is GMO because you buy seeds that are known to be GMO. If you are gowing non-GMO varieties, you do not know if GMO vaieties have cross pollinated with your corn unless you get it tested. If you are a consumer, you do not know if the corn or processed foods containing corn is GMO unless it is labeled as such. In the United States GMO foods are not labeled.
GMO stands for genetically modified organism. To confirm the GMO status of the sample, it must be labeled as GMO by the producers.

Many Hawaiian papayas are GMO products, in order to resist papaya ringspot virus. I am not aware of widespread GMO mangos in Hawaii. There is actually a widespread, anti-GMO movement in Hawaii, right now.
Brands like La Tourangelle, Spectrum Naturals, and California Rice Oil Co. offer non-GMO rice bran oils. These brands prioritize using non-GMO rice in their products to meet the demand for genetically modified organism (GMO)-free options.
There is only one known variety of rice that has been genetically modified. That is Golden Rice. Unless Riviana Foods has Golden Rice, the rice itself in their products would not be GMO.
I just wrote an article that talks about GMOs. The GMO rice, called golden rice, is described under the section "GMOs Can Improve Nutrition."

Yes and No. All of their Beer made in the USA contains GMO rice, GMO corn syrup and GMO corn. The Beers produced outside the USA do not allow GMO so if you want your Bud GMO Free, do not buy it in the USA or Canada where the governments protect Monsanto, just buy it in Belgium or Germany where they have made GMO illegal... and for good reason.
GMO foods are not healthier for you. In fact, there are concerns and anecdotal evidence that they could actually cause health issues. Except for Golden Rice, which was created to produce Vitamin A, and possibly a few others, many genetic modifications are not made to make the plant healthier or more nutritious as a food, but to be resistant to herbicides, create a substance that kills insects in the plant itself, or for other traits that have nothing to do with making them healthier. Some argue that GMO foods actually have negative effects on health. Even the claims that Golden Rice provides Vitamiin A in quantities that is actually beneficial has been questioned.
GMO foods asummably have the same vitamins as the equivalent non-GMO foods.
