Bite marks have been reported in flesh, foodstuffs and inanimate objects. Those in foodstuffs occur widely in cases of larceny but also occur in serious crimes such as murder. Evaluation of distinctive characteristics in food bites differs from the corresponding assessment of flesh bite marks in that the assessment is made on the impression made by the labial aspect of the teeth and not on the biting edge, because the teeth penetrate the bitten foods to different depths. The terminology used to describe food bite marks is very varied and a classification of food bites has been formulated in an effort to bring a degree of uniformity to the analysis of such marks.
据报道，咬痕出现在肉体、食物和无生命物体上。食物上的咬痕在盗窃案件中广泛存在，但也出现在谋杀等严重犯罪中。食物咬痕独特特征的评估与肉体咬痕的相应评估不同，因为评估是基于牙齿唇面留下的印记，而不是咬边，因为牙齿会以不同深度穿透被咬食物。用于描述食物咬痕的术语非常多样，为了使此类咬痕的分析有一定程度的统一，已经制定了食物咬痕的分类。
