Codeine levels, the memo said, could be higher in some varieties of the seed and cause a positive urinalysis test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cConcerns with poppy seeds and drug testing are not new,\u201d Cisneros wrote in the memo. \u201cThe Military Departments are hereby directed to notify service members to avoid consumption of all poppy seeds to include food products and baked goods.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Poppy seeds are harvested from the poppy plant, cultivated by food and pharmaceutical industries. During harvesting, seeds may become contaminated with morphine or codeine. The Pentagon\u2019s drug testing regime, however, differentiated between morphine and codeine use from poppy seed consumption, according to the memo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But as new data came to light, Cisneros decided to issue the memo to help prevent possible positive tests from service members who may have consumed contaminated poppy seed products. Cisneros said in the memo that he would update the guidance as more information becomes available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOut of an abundance of caution, I find protecting service members and the integrity of the drug testing program requires a warning to avoid poppy seeds,\u201d Cisneros wrote.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The guidance will be
