Absolutely horrible but they should absolutely warn people about foods that can make them false positive before any drug tests.
Or maybe we should stop drug testing people and exit the fascist fucking police state.
Happy to be corrected but if someone is operating heavy machinery or doing something you might not want them to be impaired due to drugs.
That is such an American take. In my country there are three professions in which the employer can mandate a drugtest: train operator, pilots and captains. Everybody else is in their legal right to (and should) deny a drugtest. What you do in your spare time is none of your employers business.
Wait, bus drivers don’t get drug tested?

Nope. By law only employees within the three professions I described above have to comply when asked to take a drugs test. No other profession can be forced to take one.
That's not to say that a bus driver driving irratically will never be tested - the police can still mandate a drugs test when suspected of DUI and you'd have to comply.
Are you insane? This whole thread is insane. The fact that you are OK with this makes this insane.
Was this woman operating heavy machinery immediately after giving birth?
The factor in common is public safety. In the case of giving birth there is a new extremely vulnerable member of the public. It’s at least reasonable that the hospital needs to know
No, the contrary: everyone should increase false positives to render these tests worthless & make laughingstocks of contemptible processes depending on them.
It's like how I just read that 300+ people were arrested at a protest (of I think 500). Either way, when is it that just everyone in town is arrested?
That's when the share values of private prison companies go to the moon.
This exact false positive has been known about for decades. It was in a Seinfeld episode.
She had a salad, an “everything” salad. Poppy seeds are just a minor everyday ingredient and it would to just not even think of them. Even knowing. Even being warned.
Warning is not enough.
