I Am Very Confused and Want a Muffin

I really want a poppy seed muffin, those are my favorites! But once I learned they can show up in a drug screening as evidence of drugs in your system, I stopped eating them. They do random UAs for employees every month at my workplace and all it takes is for me to have a muffin on the day I happen to be chosen for a random UA and I'm screwed. 😥

Can the morphine from poppy seeds be detected in a sample?
Research shows that morphine and codeine can sometimes be detected in the urine up to 48 hours after ingestion of poppy seeds from some pastries, such as bagels, muffins, and cakes (see reference one for a free article on this topic).In most cases, consumption of poppy seeds in foods will not cause a positive doping test.

However, it may be possible to exceed the morphine threshold by eating foods with poppy seeds and USADA can’t predict how long morphine or morphine metabolites from poppy seeds will stay in your system. The most conservative approach would be to avoid poppy seeds a few days before testing.
