Most foodstuffs contain natural, radioactive isotopes : TRUE.

Radioactivity is, and always has been, present in all foodstuffs to some extent. Recent events have made the general public aware of this and most do not know about radioactivity and radiation.

There are four possible sources of radioactivity in foodstuffs: one natural and three artificial.

Natural Radioactivity
Industrial Radioactivity
Weapons Testing
4. Accidents Involving Radioactivity:

Airborne radioactivity mainly consists of nuclides attached to dust particles which settle directly onto the ground or can be washed out by rain. Some radionuclides are gases and these are mainly washed out by rain.

Thus, both vegetation and soil can be contaminated, so radioactive elements remain their in foodstuffs.
