I attended a share-holder meeting at a local Organic seed company last week, and they showed this chart.
We were very surprised to see Kashi supporting GMO.
It's not Kashi per se as they have absolutely no say in it, since they got swallowed whole by Kellogg - although their current GMO status is (from their website): "some of our foods include ingredients made from genetically engineered crops"
Same with Silk - who went GMO-free soybeans years ago, yet they still represent only a small percentage of their parent company's business

Great article from the New York Times about the rift this proposition is causing between organic subsidiaries such as Kashi and their corporate parents:
I have to disagree with his assumption that makers will switch to non-gmo because of this.

I think the labeling itself will have very little impact.
