This bill addresses the dangers posed by contaminated poppy seeds, citing multiple fatalities and adverse health incidents. It highlights that at least 19 people in the United States have died from morphine overdoses linked to contaminated poppy seeds. Furthermore, the bill notes that women have tested positive for opiates during childbirth due to poppy seed consumption, and the Department of Defense has warned servicemembers to avoid them due to opiate contamination and the risk of positive drug tests. The primary purpose of this Act is to establish clear contamination levels for poppy seeds, above which they will be considered adulterated foods and prohibited in interstate commerce. It mandates the Secretary of Health and Human Services to issue a proposed rule within one year and a final rule within two years of enactment. These rules will define maximum acceptable levels for contamination by morphine , codeine , and other designated compounds. Poppy seeds exceeding these established levels will be deemed adulterated under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act, and the Act also clarifies that contaminated poppy seeds are not exempt from regulation under the Controlled Substances Act.
