Can A Poppy Seed Bagel Cause You To Test Positive On Your Drug Screen?

"Eating a normal dietary amount of poppy seeds can cause a urine specimen to test positive for morphine and codeine." The “poppy seed defense” or the claim that ingesting poppy seeds is the reason for a failed drug test has long been used to challenge drug test results. A Seinfeld episode brought it into the mainstream with a story line where Elaine Benes tests positive for opium on her company’s urine drug test and blames the result on her favorite breakfast, a poppy seed muffin. In 2011, MythBusters, a Discovery Channel program told viewers that the myth was “definitely true” as producers ate poppy seed bread and bagels and then generated a positive result on an instant urine drug test.
