	Foods for infants and young children	Milk and milk-based drinks	Other food, with the exception of - mineral water and similar drinks - tea brewed from unfermented leaves	Mineral water and similar drinks and tea brewed from unfermented leaves
For dried products that are intended to be consumed in a reconstituted state, the maximum level applies to the reconstituted product as ready for consumption. For dried mushrooms a reconstitution factor of 5 is of application. For tea, the maximum level applies to the infusion brewed from tea leaves. The processing factor for dried tea is 50, and therefore a maximum level of 500 Bq/kg on dried tea leaves ensures that the level in the brewed tea does not exceed the maximum level of 10 Bq/kg.
In order to ensure consistency with maximum levels currently applied in Japan, these values replace on a provisional basis the values laid down in Council Regulation (Euratom) No 3954/87.
