In the 13th verse of chapter 3 of Bhagavad Gita for happiness, Lalwani says that spiritually-minded people who eat food that is first offered in sacrifice, are released from all kinds of sin. The food which is leftover after offering it to God — or the prasad — are the ones who are relieved from these sins. Krishna adds that eating prasad releases one from sin, while those who eat food without offering commit sin.
