It’s like bananas. If you eat a sufficient number of them, the cumulative radiation would kill you. The necessary number of bananas would kill you first though.

Fun fact, original bananas are extinct due to blight. The ones we have today are remakes, but don't taste the same. If you want to taste what an old one tasted like, try a banana laughy taffy.

They aren't exactly extinct. You can still buy a Gros Michel banana that laffy taffy was based on. It's just gonna cost you somewhere in the ballpark of 15-26$ a pound lol
