Leviticus 7:21

19 Meat that touches anything unclean must not be eaten; it is to be burned up. As for any other meat, anyone who is ceremonially clean may eat it.

20 But if anyone who is unclean eats meat from the peace offering that belongs to the LORD, that person must be cut off from his people.

If one touches anything unclean, whether human uncleanness, an unclean animal, or any unclean, detestable thing, and then eats any of the meat of the peace offering that belongs to the LORD, that person must be cut off from his people.”

22 Then the LORD said to Moses,

23 “Speak to the Israelites and say, ‘You are not to eat any of the fat of an ox, a sheep, or a goat.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
