Bailey O seems to have taken my answer. Mythbusters did part of an episode on the myth that poppy seeds may trigger drug tests w/ opiates.
I would try re-taking the drug screening, if possible.

I saw this on mythbusters, season 2 episode 12, the only way you can do it is if you eat like 5 poppy seed bagels, just tons of poppy seeds

Sometimes it's poppy seeds in hamburger buns.
Or, it could be some herbal medicine, like Valerian.
Or they might have mixed your sample with someone else's.
Demand a Re-test.

have you had any poppy seeds lately? Like on a roll or bread or salad? I've heard that can cause the positive

poppyseeds, eaten any muffins? Remember the Seinfeld episode where Elane ate poppy seed muffins and failed a drug test?
