not by eating one but try eating several and you will fail trust me it happened to me lol. I use to be a big poppy seed bagel fan not anymore

They did a segment of this on myth busters. They had to eat a whole lot to fail the drug test

Yes... you have to eat alot but why even take the chance poppy seeds aren't that great.

True, but you have to be a huge poppy seed lover, like eat them for every meal, in order to fail.

Eat a poppy seed anything, the drug test will show positive.

you have to eat a serious amount of poppy seeds- like pastries with poppy filling- and it shows up as opium on drug tests...

there was actually (true story i swear) a prisoner in a low security prison in my hometown who routinely failed drug tests while within the facility- it turned out that he had been eating poppyseed kolaches (like danishes) (allowed since it was low-max, brought by a family member) that were tripping the drug test.

but again, it takes a LOT of poppy.
