The answer

If a fasting person swallows food that has come up to the mouth after belching unintentionally, their fast is not invalidated. And it is obligatory for anyone who can remove vomit with a basin or by rinsing the mouth to do so. However, the mere persistence of taste in the saliva does not invalidate the fast.
