Poppyseeds can cause you to test positive for opiates. After a number of public cases, they raised the basal reading required to "fail" the drug test for opiates, so its unlikely a single bagel will cause you to fail. If you have some time between now and your physical (say a month or so) - you are fine.

Your husband is right, poppy seed bagels do show up as drugs in a drug test. They actually make you high if you eat lots of them. You can go to http://www.cracked.com/article_16178_7-common-foods-that-can-actually-get-you-high.html and http://www.snopes.com/medical/drugs/poppyseed.asp for more information.

Hubby is right.. When you go for your physical bring a bagel with poppy seeds to show. That should be sufficient explanation. You will probably be rescheduled for testing.
