Yes, ingestion of poppy seed bagels or poppyseed cake can indeed cause a false positive on a urine test for opiates. Ingestion of poppy seeds can result in a positive drug test as long as two days after ingestion. According to the myth-busting website snopes, "as little as a single bagel covered with poppy seeds could produce a false positive test for these drugs".

confident, It does. Opium comes from poppies.there is sufficient similarity between the poppies that produce opium and poppies customarily, to reason a similar reaction. As yet another poster suggested in case you're taking a blood attempt the place the outcomes count (as in a blood attempt for a job) avert poppy seeds!

It consists of an ingredient called opium, another word for heroine. It contains alkaloids such as morphine, codeine, and papaverine. It is a stimulant narcotic (when used as a drug (non perscription) ) usually producing a feeling of well-being, hallucinations, and drowsiness terminating in coma or death if the dose is excessive, that was formerly used in medicine to soothe pain but is now often replaced by derivative alkaloids (as morphine or codeine) or synthetic substitutes, and that is smoked illicitly as an intoxicant with harmful effects. But don't be afraid to eat it as poppy seeds on a bagel, it won't do anything harmful to you at all unless you use it as a drug or a reason to get high and get to high to live.
