What is the ruling on ants falling into food, and the ruling on spoiled food: is it pure, and does it nullify ablution?

Ants are pure, and if one falls into food, it does not contaminate it. The spoilage of food by rot does not render it impure. However, if eating it causes harm, then it is not permissible. Consuming spoiled food does not invalidate ablution.
