Can The Intake Of Poppy Seeds Before Drug Test Show Positive For Opiates?

default
Posted on Tue, 5 May 2015
Question: Hello: I recently had taken a drug test and after a lab reviewed the results there was 153 nanogram reading of opiate / codeine in my system. I have not taken any cough syrup or pain meds to speak of in the last 12 months or more. However unfortunately i did eat a XXXXXXX seed bagel about 3 hours before the test unfortunately. From my research, it appears that the XXXXXXX seed bagel can trigger a false positive in a drug test for opiates. Please help thanks
