Does The Consumption Of Poppy Seeds Affect A Drug Test?

Poppy Seeds: Poppy seeds are an oilseed from the opium poppy flower which are legally sold and consumed.

The poppy is the source of opium, as well as heroin, morphine, and codeine. The seeds themselves do not contain opiates, however, are commonly tainted with morphine residue.

Based on the number of poppy seeds you consume, there is in fact a possibility that the seeds can cause you to test positive for opiates. There have been narratives where a single poppy seed encrusted bagel can be enough to cause an individual to fail a drug test. Although it can be possible for poppy seeds to detect as opiates in a drug test, there is a significant difference in the number of opiates detected in a poppy-seed eater vs an individual abusing the narcotic. Poppy seeds don’t have enough opiates to put you in a daze. It is recommended to avoid consuming poppy seeds during a period that you will be taking a drug test.
