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. | ||||
