ANNEX IU.K.

Maximum levels for food a (Bq/kg) as provided for in the Japanese legislation

a

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 unfermented 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.

b

In order to ensure consistency with maximum levels currently applied in Japan, these values replace on a provisional basis the values laid down in Regulation (Euratom) No 3954/87.
