I always thought the “poppy-seed-defense” was bogus and that you’d have to eat tons of poppy seeds to skew a test, but I just did some research, and apparently one poppy seed bagel can indeed affect a drug test.
What I found is that in the US at least, they may raise the federal test threshold for morphine/codeine from 300 nanograms per millileter to 2,000 - this is because of the “poppy seed problem.” So our Captain may have to act quickly, before this change is made, if his plan is to get the Alaskans busted on drug tests! ;)

The poppyseed bagels are part of his cunning plan to get the citizens of Alaska all busted on drug tests!
