Poppy seeds are generally considered to be safe, but the sap of the plant, especially in the fruit, is highly toxic, and can be fatal, in significant doses. IOW, if the seeds were harvested a little too soon, (before the seeds fully matured), they might still contain enough sap to be toxic. Even apart from that, poppy seeds contain about 20 different alkaloids, which can have all sorts of effects on the body. They're not a part of my diet, for that reason.
