Halakhah for Chullin 256:40
תניא נמי גבי שרצים כהאי גוונא
For if it had been taught only with regard to beasts I should have said that the reason [why the flesh torn from] the living beast does not render unclean was that [the beast when dead] does not render unclean by a lentil's bulk thereof,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' There must be at least an olive's bulk thereof.');"><sup>16</sup></span>
Sefer HaChinukh
And the law of living flesh that is separated from a swarming creature, a complete limb, the kidney, the liver, and the tongue (Chullin 128b); the law of their blood, their tendons, their claws, their skins and their eggs (Meilah 17a); the law that anyone that is rendered impure by them is forbidden from eating the priestly tithe and consecrated food and entering the Temple until he immerses [in a ritual bath] - and the matter of immersion is like we will explain in its commandment (Sefer HaChinukh 175), with God's help - and that even after his immersion, he is forbidden to eat even the priestly tithe until the sun sets, and afterwards he is pure and eats; and the rest of its details are elucidated in the Order of Tahorot, and mostly in Tractate Kelim and Tahorot (see Mishneh Torah, Laws of Other Sources of Defilement 4).
