Furthermore, the Bodhisattvabhūmi-śāstra states: "A bodhisattva also does not give improper food—namely, offering to monastics leftover scraps of food; food defiled by excrement, urine, snot, spittle, pus, or blood; rice or barley meal offered without speaking or without knowing [its source]; or food improperly mixed that ought to be discarded, meaning tainted food containing onions, or tainted food containing meat or wine. Mixtures as improper as these must not be given to others."
