Yikes. Today I had a small bag of HERR'S Whole Grain Pretzels. One of the ingredients is poppy seeds. In two days I take a pre-employment drug screening test. Will I get a false positive result?
Whole grain pretzels with Poppy Seeds- Will I fail a pre-employment drug screening scheduled in two days?
You should be fine, it takes a LOT of poppy seeds for it to register on one of those tests. I pigged out on lemon poppyseed muffins before I took a test and I passed just fine.
Reply:you must have seen the same episode of Seinfeld that I did, when Elaine did the same thing.
Reply:I believe you have to eat large amounts of poppy seeds in order to fail a drug test.
Reply:If you eat a lot more than likely. If you only ate a small amount it may not be detectable.
Reply:Most likely
Reply:I'm afraid that poppy seeds on a bagel and on or in other foods causing postive result on a drug test isn't a myth... it can happen. I'm assuming you just forgot about your upcoming drug test. Maybe it'll be okay, but be prepared. Usually it won't matter if you explain. Most employers won't take the chance. Good Luck!!!
(A single bagel or a muffin with poppy seeds have been known to call a positive result.)
