12. Saying a blessing with food, or other item, in one’s mouth:[1]

See chapter 2 Halacha 7 for the full details of this matter!

It is forbidden to say a blessing while food, or any item, is in one’s mouth and it must hence be removed, as explained in Chapter 2 Halacha 7. Nonetheless, Bedieved one fulfills the blessing if he did not do so.

Began eating a food and then remembered that did not say a blessing: See Halacha 13.
