Musar for Yevamot 149:10

ואיבעית אימא נגיעה דתרומה מהכא נפקא (ויקרא יב, ד) בכל קדש לא תגע אזהרה לאוכל או אינו אלא לנוגע

— R. Zera replied: In respect of touch;<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Before sunset on the day of purification no terumah may come in contact with the unclean vessel; and the same restriction applies to the tebul yom (v. Glos.). This could not have been deduced from Lev. XXII, 7 which does not speak of touch or contact but of eating. ');"><sup>23</sup></span> as it was taught: And it shall be unclean<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' Lev. XI, 32, even after it had been put in water. ');"><sup>24</sup></span> might have been taken to refer to all cases,<span class="x" onmousemove="('comment',' I.e., that the uncleanness remains in respect of both terumah and [second] tithe. ');"><sup>25</sup></span>

Shenei Luchot HaBerit

Commandment 168 forbids a ritually unclean person to eat any part of the sacrifices or other hallowed matter that may otherwise be eaten by someone who is ritually clean. The operative verse is "she must not touch anything that is holy" (12,4). Our sages in Makkot 14 view this as a prohibition directed at the person eating such "holy" things.
