Tosefta for Tahorot 2:3

הָרִאשׁוֹן שֶׁבַּחֻלִּין, טָמֵא וּמְטַמֵּא. הַשֵּׁנִי פּוֹסֵל וְלֹא מְטַמֵּא. וְהַשְּׁלִישִׁי נֶאֱכָל בִּנְזִיד הַדָּמַע:

Non-sacred food of a first degree [level of impurity] is impure and can render others impure. That of a second degree, is invalid [literally: renders invalid], but does not render impure. And [non-sacred food] of a third degree can be eaten in a soup of <i>demai</i> [non-sacred foods into which some amount of <i>terumah</i> has been mixed].
