That's not that strange or extra-ordinary. Sometimes radiation is used to sterilize food to increase shelf life. It doesn't make the food radioactive though. The sources of such radiation are similar to those used for medical purposes. If I remember correctly, this is especially useful for spices. But probably other stuff, also.
