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.

@Carver you'd have to eat a shit ton of them though Alex, one a day isn't going to show up in a high enough quantity to make the test positive.

@SW-User I'm too paranoid and don't want to risk it. 😩

Eat your muffins. Any amount would be waaaay too small for a workplace screening to detect.

I had not heard of this. I'm not usually fond of muffins but now I will avoid them for sure.

Is that really true? They still can't figure out how to take that into account? How are we supposed to enjoy our muffins knowing it could cost us our jobs???

@lilcountrygrl Only for poppy seed muffins though. Saying you ate a muffin when it shows up in your drug screening isn't viable though since one who does use drugs could just as easily say they were eating poppy seed muffins. :/
They did it on Mythbusters and it is true. You have to eat ALOT of it though, I don't think one muffin is going to ruin you.

@GreenGoddess I used to eat one every morning, lol. But now I'm too paranoid.
They don't show up in high amount.

Any place that drug tests overlook that tiny amount of opiods.
I have encountered this idea, and I've been told that it poppy seed muffin will not make you test positive for opiates. Seems the seeds don't have any in it, especially after they've been cooked. Enjoy your muffin!

@SatyrService Tempting but it's not worth the risk.
