Default Can genetically altered fruit still be organic?

According to Wikipedia their definition of organic is this: Organic foods are grown without the use of conventional pesticides, artificial fertilizers, human waste, or sewage sludge, and that they were processed without ionizing radiation or food additives.

I have read a site that stated that USDA approved organic food cannot be genetically altered, is this true? If so can you send me a link. I looked on the USDA website but cannot find anything to that effect.

Also even if a fruit was genetically altered can it still abide by the organic guidelines of no additives etc. would it still containg the same amino acids, proteins etc.

Basically these naysayers are trying to tell me that eating organic food is a waste of time and money. What are your opinions.
