Mesorat%20hashas for Tahorot 4:10

רַבִּי יוֹסֵי אוֹמֵר, סְפֵק מַשְׁקִין, לְאֳכָלִים, טָמֵא, וּלְכֵלִים, טָהוֹר. כֵּיצַד. שְׁתֵּי חָבִיּוֹת, אַחַת טְמֵאָה וְאַחַת טְהוֹרָה, וְעָשָׂה עִסָּה מֵאַחַת מֵהֶן, סָפֵק מִן הַטְּמֵאָה עָשָׂה, סָפֵק מִן הַטְּהוֹרָה עָשָׂה, זֶה הוּא סְפֵק מַשְׁקִין לְאֳכָלִין טָמֵא וּלְכֵלִים טָהוֹר:

Rabbi Yose says: The uncertainty of [impure] liquids regarding [whether or not they came into contact with] foods is impure [i.e. the purity status of the loaves is uncertain and therefore impure], and regarding vessels it is pure [i.e. when it is uncertain whether or not the liquids came into contact with vessels, the vessels are pure]. How so? If there were two jugs [of water], one impure and the other pure, and someone made dough from [the water from] one of them, and it is uncertain if he made it from the impure one or made it from the pure one, this is the case of the uncertainty of [impure] liquids, regarding foods is impure and regarding vessels it is pure.
