tion caused by consumption of contaminated poppy 
seeds. 
(2) At least 19 people in the United States have 
been confirmed to have died from morphine 
overdoses from contaminated poppy seeds. 
(3) Women in the United States have tested 
positive for opiates in hospitals at childbirth due to 
poppy seed consumption in food, leading to unwar-
ranted scrutiny from child welfare officials.

a warning to all servicemembers to avoid poppy seed 
consumption due to opiate contamination and the 
risk of positive drug tests. 
(5) Studies of pharmaceutical opiates have 
found that a dose of just 20 to 50 morphine milli-
gram equivalents per day increases the risk of over-
dose and death among patients prescribed morphine 
for pain treatment. 
(6) Poppy products purchased in the United 
States have been found to have up to 2,788 milli-
grams of morphine per kilogram of seeds after ex-
traction.

milligrams per kilogram or less. 
(8) While poppy seeds are excluded from the 
definition of ‘‘opium poppy’’ and ‘‘poppy straw’’ 
under the Controlled Substances Act (21 U.S.C. 801 
et seq.), that definition does not exclude unwashed 
poppy seeds that have been contaminated with 
opium alkaloids from the latex of the plant. The 
opium alkaloids (inclusive of morphine, codeine, and 
thebaine), if present as contaminants on poppy seed 
material, are also not exempted from control under 
that Act. 
(b) PURPOSE.—It is the purpose of this Act to pro-
hibit the distribution and sale of contaminated poppy 
seeds in order to prevent harm, addiction, and further 
deaths from morphine-contaminated poppy seeds.

(b) REGULATIONS.—The Secretary of Health and

(1) not later than 1 year after the date of en-
actment of this Act, issue a proposed rule estab-
lishing a maximum level for contamination under 
section 301(jjj) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cos-
metic Act (as added by subsection (a)) by morphine, 
codeine, and any other alkaloid compound which the 
Secretary may designate; and 
(2) not later than 2 years after the date of en-
actment of this Act, finalize such rule. 
SEC. 4. POPPY SEEDS AS AN ADULTERANT. 
Nothing in this Act and the amendment made by this 
Act shall be construed as preventing the Secretary of 
Health and Human Services from— 
(1) determining that poppy seeds contaminated 
with morphine, codeine, or another alkaloid com-
pound that may render food injurious to health are 
adulterated under section 402 of the Federal Food,
