Eating is among the nullifiers of fasting. This includes swallowing food remnants caught between the teeth if the fasting person was able to remove them but swallowed them intentionally; in such a case, their fast is nullified. However, if they slipped down their throat and were swallowed without the fasting person being able to remove them, or if they swallowed a tiny amount that cannot be avoided, then their fast is valid because they had no choice in the matter.
