Reads like about 500 times less than the "banana equivalent dose". Different isotopes, though. So I have no clue about bioavailability, or where the body would put that stuff, instead of mostly pissing it out.

Edit: BED = 31 Bq/g caused by mostly Potassium-40.

That stuff according to the FDA: 68 Bq/kg caused by Caesium-137 (which also isn't bioaccumulated similar to Potassium-40)
