- Why
- Opium alkaloids (including morphine) are found in poppy sap but can contaminate poppy seeds, for example through insect damage or during harvest. The EU has set limit values for poppy seeds for direct consumption and for baked goods containing poppy seeds. An excessively high content of opium alkaloids has been found in the poppy seeds used. A health risk cannot therefore be ruled out. You can become acutely ill from ingesting large quantities of opium alkaloids. Symptoms include vomiting, dizziness, dry mouth and constricted pupils.
