Will Eating Poppy Seeds Cause You To Fail A Drug Test?
Q Can eating poppy seeds cause someone to fail a drug test?
A Yes eating poppy seed bagels and other foods that contain poppy seeds can cause you to show positive for opiates if you are drug tested.
While people who perform tests claim they can tell false positives from opiate users, the truth is they can't. If you get fired for opiate use because of a drug test and had no follow up test, a lawyer would be able to get your job back. If you have a really good lawyer, you could probably sue for millions.
Poppy seeds come from the same plant that is used to make opium (and morphine, heroin, etc.), scientific name: Papaver somniferum.
Most drug testers will ask if you have been eating poppy seeds, or taking other medications that might cause a person to show a false positive.
