All Baby Formula contains GMO's

The Non GMO Project has some great information on their site. Shoot on over there and see all their great links. You can search by product brand or category.

I currently breastfeed my baby and have not needed formula. Just the other day I was looking into formula for baby E so when hubby and I go out our sitter has more milk (Im not producing a lot of extra for bottles). Sadly, there is no GMO free formula on the market at this time. Most formulas are made from soy or other GM ingredients.

Here is one article you can read about the  DHA used in infant formula which contains genetically modified algea.

Again, just because it says Organic doest mean GMO free. (More on this later)

Earth's Best Organic Soy with DHA & ARA (Hain Celestial Group)

Enfamil LIPIL (Mead Johnson Nutritionals)

Enfamil Next Step (Mead Johnson)

Isomil 2 Advance (Abbott Laboratories)

Nestle Good Start Supreme with DHA & ARA (Nestle USA)

Parent's Choice Organic (Wal-Mart)

Similac Advance (Abbott Nutrition)

Ultra Bright Beginnings Lipids (PBM Products, LLC)

Find out if you are consuming products or food containing DHA here.

Another option for mams may be goats milk formula. I trust Dr. Sears but would need to know what the ingredients are in the store bought goats milk formula. I would do more research and ask my physician before giving to baby but may be a good alternative to formula.  Another option is making your own homemade goats milk formula.
