Singapore and South Korea pull Trader Joe's seasoning containing poppy seeds
- Singapore and South Korea have pulled Trader Joe's Everything But the Bagel seasoning from e-commerce platforms because it contains poppy seeds.
- While they do not naturally contain opiates, poppy seeds are banned in both countries because they can get contaminated with opiates by fluid in the poppy plant during harvesting.
- More than 20 online listings of the popular seasoning have been removed, Singapore's Central Narcotics Bureau said on Wednesday.
