Commentary for Avodah Zarah 92:11
אמר מר זוטרא בריה דרב נחמן ת"ש כל האסורין לגבי מזבח ולדותיהן מותרים ותני עלה רבי אליעזר אוסר
Mar Zutra son of R. Nahman said: Come and hear: Any [animal] prohibited from being offered upon the altar, its young is permissible; and on this it was taught that R. Eliezer forbids.
Daf Shevui to Avodah Zarah
Mar Zutra tries to derive the answer from a mishnah which refers to animals that cannot be offered on the altar since they engaged in bestiality.
The flour is, in a sense, the offspring of the wheat. Thus if R. Eliezer and the sages argue whether the offspring of an animal prohibited to be offered on the altar can be offered, so too would they argue about whether the flour can be used for a minhah.
