Police pounced after a tip-off from doctors at the Jagiellonian University's hospital.

“A female patient checked in this morning with strange symptoms,” revealed Professor Andrzej Kulig, director of the hospital, in an interview with the Gazeta Wyborcza daily.

“She was behaving as if she had taken drugs.”

“The woman swore that she had not taken anything and that all she had done was eat a poppyseed bun that morning.”

The hospital sent staff members to buy buns from the chain in question, and it transpired that the company had been using a type of poppyseed that is illegal in the EU for catering purposes.

The buns were duly confiscated.

Police have not disclosed the name of the bakery chain, as it remains unclear whether the owners knew they had purchased a forbidden product. (nh)
