There actually is GMO wheat, however it was never approved for human consumption. Unfortunately, it escaped the test fields and contaminated wheat fields in Oregon, which resulted in ban by South Korea and Japan.
There is a misunderstanding about wheat being GMO due to the practice of spraying Roundup on it as a desiccant right before harvest.
As the US ramps up GMO crop, many countries are refusing to purchase these products, which is causing major problems for exporters.

Kind of crazy when you consider China exports seafood grown in animal feces to the US, but refuse to take GMO crops.
