Related for Yevamot 146:9

ואימא ממנו אי אתה מבעיר אבל אתה מבעיר שמן של קדש שנטמא לאו קל וחומר הוא ומה מעשר הקל אמרה תורה לא בערתי ממנו בטמא קדש חמור לא כ"ש

and at the school of R. Ishmael it was taught that the unclean and the clean may eat together even on the same table, and the same plate, and no precautions need be taken. Thus the All Merciful stated, 'That, concerning which I told you there, Thou shalt eat it within thy gates,20 you may not eat here'.21 'That these laws do not apply to terumah'.

Tosefta Bikkurim

There is a stringency with Terumah (the priestly portion of produce) that there is not with second tithe (which is exchanged for money and brought to Jerusalem) or first fruits, and [a stringency] with second tithe that there is not with Terumah. [With respect to the stringency of Terumah], we may not take [Terumah] except out of a mass [of produce] in close proximity (המוקף), nor may we take it except from [produce that is in] a finished state, nor may we take it except from the pure on behalf of the impure, or the medumma (a forbidden mixture of Terumah and chullin), and we are liable on it for an extra fifth, and it applies to all [species of] produce, which is not the case with first fruits. And it applies to all the years [of the seven-year agricultural cycle other than the seventh year], all of which is not the case with second tithe [which only applies to the first, second, fourth, and fifth years].
