Allergy pills like Bendaryl I forget what it came up as it’s been several years ago but I think it was Opium , It happened to my kids dad at his work and he was fired for it (he didn’t use street drugs) They did a random drug test he told the people who were doing it he was on Allergy medicine. They jotted it down (or so they said) his results came back and he was fired for Taking illegal drugs!

Actually even in this day and age Lab tests are WRONG.. my boyfriend was drug screened at a doctors(with out his permission by the way) He doesn’t use hard core drugs and hasn’t in over 20 years…… BUT he was taking a PRESCRIPTION drug from HIS DOCTOR and this Doctor KNEW everything he was on His drug test from a doctors office Came back Positive for Opium – The Only medicine he was on that would come up as that in a drug test (and it says so on many Google searches) was the Loratabs he was prescribed….They accused him of taking Opium drugs When the only thing he was taking was what his doctor at the Pain clinic Prescibed him and HE gave them his entire Medical record, and every single pill he took – I FILLED out the papers I KNOW what he takes I put brand name/ generic name. MG , How many he took a day and how many hrs apart if it was more than 1 a day. SO don’t say Todays Labs don’t get anything wrong because they DO and they do it alot! and YES poppy seeds come up as Opium …. Learn to Google before looking like a fool

I just found out that Arbys beef and chedder onion buns have poppy seeds.. I’m on probation as well and ate one about 4 hours before they gave me a drug test.. I haven’t got my results back yet but hopefully I pass.. I agree that they should not put those things on our food without informing us..

The MODERN scientific literature is clear: “There are no unambiguous markers available to differentiate poppy food ingestion from heroin or pharmaceutical morphine use”

Your Medical Review Officer should be fired if he really said that. No competent MRO would say such a thing, as it’s been well known in the medical literature for decades. See for example, Journal of Analytical Toxicology, Volume 14, Number 5, September 1990 , pp. 308-310(3)

take two tests in a clinic setting /
eat a few poppy seed bagels between the
two tests, should take two hours after you
ate the bagels
good proof is negative on first
positive on second

OOPS..
in case anyone else finds my rant in the future, it appears that Burger King uses sesame seeds,
not poppy seeds on their buns.

I am relieved that this is the case, but given the hysteria and consequences of poppy seeds, all seeds on buns should be clearly identified in advance for any purchasers.

this is not 1200 A.D.- with modern drug testing being obligatory, the time for these seeds on buns is past now.

there is no F-ing reason that anyone should be allowed to use Poppy Seeds in ANYTHING that is commercially sold as a food product,

with all this hassle and drama,

UNLESS they offer the poppy seeds as a option to be intentionally added to your food product, and in packaged goods have a warning on the packaging that the stupid seeds that you did not ask for can ruin your life and cost you massive amounts of money and stress.

Whatever Poppy Seeds may add to a food product NONE of it is worth this drug-false postive hassle.

I have a FAA drug test tommorrow and I ate two cheesburgers at Burger king a few hourus ago.
As I was finishing the first burger, I realized that there were poppy seeds on the Burger King hamburger buns, and starting spitting out the remains of the last bite all over the restaurant table.

I am going to sue the sh#$ out of Burger King if this screws up my job. McDonalds/Wendys etc.. do not use poppy seeds on their buns, I did NOT ASK FOR THEM on my food, and did not want or pay attention to them until it occurred to me that I heard someone once mention they could affect a drug test.

I am so pissed off at Burger King right now.. I will under no circumstance eat there again ever and will sue them if this messes up my drug test.

I am gonna tell the testing people about the hamburger bun and at least let them know in advance. THANKS BURGER KING YOU F#$%^@ A&&H@))#& !!!
