Tosefta for Tahorot 2:8

הָאוֹכֵל אֹכֶל שֵׁנִי, לֹא יַעֲשֶׂה בְּבֵית הַבָּד. וְחֻלִּין שֶׁנַּעֲשׂוּ עַל גַּב קֹדֶשׁ, הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ כְחֻלִּין. רַבִּי אֶלְעָזָר בַּר רַבִּי צָדוֹק אוֹמֵר, הֲרֵי אֵלּוּ כִתְרוּמָה, לְטַמֵּא שְׁנַיִם וְלִפְסֹל אֶחָד:

One who is eating foods of a second degree [impurity] should not work in an olive press [since his body becomes of a second degree, and he then renders liquids impure]. And non-sacred foods that were prepared with the stringency of sacred foods still follow the rules of non-sacred foods [i.e. unlike sacred foods, they cannot be rendered third degree by a second degree impurity, nor are they rendered fourth degree by a third degree impurity]. Rabbi Elazar bar Rabbi Tzadok says: In fact they are like <i>terumah</i>, in that [if they touch an origin of impurity] two are rendered impure [those rendered of a first and second degree impurity] and one is invalidated [that of a third degree; and it does not produce a fourth].

Tosefta Kelim Kamma

There is a stringency with an olive's bulk from a corpse, which is that an olive's bulk from a corpse, an opening of a handbreadth [is enough to prevent the spreading of impurity], whereas [an entire] corpse [requires] an opening of four handbreadths [to prevent the spread of impurity] (see Oholot 3:6). Rabbi Natan says, one who possesses corpse-impurity can impart second-degree impurity, and can disqualify [terumah] at an additional degree (i.e., third-degree impurity, see Toh. 2:8).
