הַנּוֹתֵן לְפֻנְדָּקִית, מְעַשֵּׂר אֶת שֶׁהוּא נוֹתֵן לָהּ, וְאֶת שֶׁהוּא נוֹטֵל מִמֶּנָּה, מִפְּנֵי שֶׁחֲשׁוּדָה לַחֲלֹף. אָמַר רַבִּי יוֹסֵי, אֵין אָנוּ אַחֲרָאִין לָרַמָּאִין, אֵינוֹ מְעַשֵּׂר אֶלָּא מַה שֶּׁהוּא נוֹטֵל מִמֶּנָּה בִּלְבָד:
One who gives [his tithed produce] to an innkeeper [so that she can prepare it for him] must tithe from what he gives to her and from what he receives [back] from her because she is suspected of exchanging [her <i>Demai</i> for his tithed produce]. Said Rabbi Yossi, "We are not responsible for deceivers; he does not tithe except for what he receives from her exclusively."
Tosefta Demai
A person gives [his produce] to an innkeeper to cook a dish for him, and she puts down the pot in front of him, and empties out its contents (see Toh. 2:1 ("מְנַעֶרֶת אֶת הַקְּדֵרָה")), even [if she is a] Gentile, there is no need for concern. (Cf. Dem. 3:5.)
