Halakhah for Chullin 256:49
בין ר"ע לר' יוסי הגלילי מאי איכא בינייהו
but if he first intended it as food and then cut it off, it is unclean.<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Inasmuch as this morsel was regarded as a foodstuff whilst still joined to the limb, it has always borne uncleanness; for when joined to the limb it bore the graver uncleanness (which can render men and vessels unclean) , and when separated from it it thereby loses the graver uncleanness but bears the lighter uncleanness (which can render unclean only foodstuffs and liquids) because of its contact with the limb.');"><sup>20</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).
