Ok, I will continue in pedantic mode here. GMO seeds are not secret. They are marketed as such. And it's documented what the genetic modification is and what it does.

In general, the point of GMO seeds is not to make a better crop in some nutritional or taste sense , but to make a crop that's cheaper to produce. For food purposes, the claim is that the GMO crops are the same as the non-GMO crops. That claim is open to debate, but leaving that debate aside, I am mystified as to what secret/proprietary information you think would be revealed by labeling food containing GMO ingredients.
