A member asked:

Can miso soup cause false positive on etg urine test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No: If you have had a false positive for alcohol (ethyl glucuronide) or a drug abuse, and you know you did not use any drug, get a lawyer. Labs do make errors. There are a few problems with the ethyl glucuronide test. Or you may have an enemy who spiked your food. I'm sorry if this has happened. Good luck with this.
