                                According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), poppy seeds may have varying amounts of opiate alkaloids, meaning consuming raw or unwashed khas khas directly carries significant risks. While culinary poppy seeds are generally safe, proper washing and preparation are essential to mitigate these potential dangers.
