Sesame seeds are fine to eat for people who can get tested for drugs. Poppy seeds are a different story. FWIW, some agencies have raised the cutoff for opiates to 2000 ng/ml to eliminate poppy seed as a cause of a positive opiate screen.

In most drug tests, yes. But I believe there are better tests out there that don't get false positives for poppy seeds. If the test will show a false positive they will warn you before

What gives false positives for opiates?

Opiates are one of a general group of related organic molecules, many of which can actively be processed into specific opiates with the right knowledge. Opiate tests actually look for digestive products of opiates, not the drugs themselves. Many of the related molecules can cause the same reactions as these byproducts when tested, leading to a false positive for opiates. The best example is poppy seeds; these contain large enough amounts that consuming a sixpack of poppy seed bagels or a poppy seed loaf can cause a buildup which leads to a false positive (as demonstrated on Mythbusters and backed up by records of people being fired for false positives made after eating some poppy seed bakery goods for breakfast/lunch).


How much Heroin does it take to show up in a UDT?

Basically if there is any heroin in your system it will show up on a UDT. The test is so sensitive that eating foods containing poppy seeds can cause a false positive. This is because the UDT isn't measuring the levels of heroin in your body, but the levels of a heroin metabolite. This metabolite is also a byproduct of poppy seed digestion, hence the false positive.
