Poppyseed salad dressing.

So my biggest craving has been poppyseed salad dressing!! I eat a salad almost everyday and always use this salad dressing not thinking anything of it, but recently someone had told me about two cases in PA where woman have had there babies temporarily taken away because the poppyseed they have been eating had caused a false positive in the drug test for opiates! Now I'm totally freaking out, I'm 37 +5 days and would be horrified if this happened to me.. Should I stop eating the salad dressing?!

Then I would stay away from poppyseed anything just to be on the safe side.

It wasn't just salad dressing, it's just poppyseeds in general. One woman ate a poppyseed bagel before she went into labor and tested positive for opiates! It's crazyyy. It could be anything with poppyseeds in them

Maybe look up what brand of salad dressing they ate first? That is very scary though. If its the same brand you eat I would stop right away just incase. They should recall that salad dressing I think
