ingested
Put into stomach
Ingested is the past tense of ingest, meaning to take something into the body by swallowing or absorbing it.
The word applies most literally to food, drink, and medicine, but extends to anything consumed orally, including toxins or foreign objects: The child had ingested several small batteries.
In computing and data contexts, ingest has taken on a figurative meaning where systems ingest data by importing and processing it: The platform ingested millions of records overnight.
