Tosefta for Terumot 8:6
נִקּוּרֵי תְאֵנִים וַעֲנָבִים וְקִשּׁוּאִין וְהַדְּלוּעִין וְהָאֲבַטִּיחִים וְהַמְּלָפְפוֹנוֹת, אֲפִלּוּ הֵם כִּכָּר, אֶחָד גָּדוֹל וְאֶחָד קָטָן, אֶחָד תָּלוּשׁ וְאֶחָד מְחֻבָּר, כָּל שֶׁיֶּשׁ בּוֹ לֵחָה, אָסוּר. וּנְשׁוּכַת הַנָּחָשׁ, אֲסוּרָה, מִפְּנֵי סַכָּנַת נְפָשׁוֹת:
Bite marks in figs, grapes, cucumbers, pumpkins, melons or cucumber-melons, even if they [the fruit] are as [much as] a <i>Kikar</i>, either large or small, either uprooted or rooted, all that contain moisture are forbidden. [An animal] bitten by a snake is forbidden on account of the danger to life.
Tosefta Terumot
One who takes terumah from a [wine] tank and finds it uncovered, or a watermelon and finds it to have bite marks (Ter. 8:6), it is [valid] terumah, but he goes back and takes terumah [a second time, as the first terumah involved hazardous conditions]. [Apropos of wine,] Rabbi Yishmael son of Rabbi Yosei says in the name of his father, we take terumah from wine on behalf of vinegar, but we do not take terumah of vinegar on behalf of wine, except according to the proportion.

Tosefta Terumot
Rabbi Yehoshua says, [if] blood is on a loaf of bread, one may scrape the place [where the blood is] and then he may eat the remainder. [If] blood was found between his teeth, he may rub it off and there is no concern (cf. Ket. 60a:9).
