False Positive Drug Tests

A False Positive Drug Test Can End Your Job Or Even Your Career

A false positive drug test is defined as a drug free sample falsely being reported as showing positive for drugs. The most common cause of drug testing false positives are cross reactants. A cross reactant is a substance which because of its similar chemical structure to a drug or its metabolite can cause a false positive drug screening result.

Drug Test Interaction With Medicines And Foods

Certain foods and over-the-counter medications can cause a "positive" for various kinds of drugs. 

Some simple examples are:

  • Poppy seeds, for example, can show up on a drug test as morphine.

  • Cold remedies that contain codeine can also cause a positive result for morphine.

  • Valium reportedly can produce erroneous indications of PCP (Phencyclidine), and other cold remedies can apparently produce false reports of methamphetamine usage.

  • The widespread availability of hemp-containing products, including everything from hemp-seed oil nutritional supplements to hemp-seed candy, cookies, cheese, bread, cooking oil, and general seasoning, means that ingesting ANY of these products could potentially cause a false positive result on a test for marijuana.

False Positive Drug Testing Samples

PLEASE READ THIS DISCLAIMER:  Let us first say that not all drug tests are sensitive to all of the following and just ingesting one or more of these ingredients will not guarantee a false positive test.  Also just by saying you have ingested one or more of these ingredients will not automatically dismiss a false positive drug test.  These are just guidelines and should not be taken as absolutes.
