Jan 25, 2016 at 10:50 comment added Fred @ArielK OP clarified in a comment above that he is assuming this is a case where "he already made the Shehakol on some other food item (i.e. Bracha issues aside)".
Dec 13, 2011 at 2:42 comment added yitznewton My case was making brachah, then before swallowing, realizing it is the wrong type. R' Bodner discusses brachos on prohibited foods in Ch. 13 Par. C, but it seems like he's only dealing with issur Torah. I thus retract what I said about not eating the food; I don't know. I could hear logically that letting the brachah go le-vatalah (IIRC R' Bodner in Kezayis quotes R' C. Kanievsky that this is not necessarily d'Oraysa) may be worse than eating within x hours (which I presume is minhag).
Dec 12, 2011 at 23:32 comment added Shalom @yitznewton, perhaps you're thinking of a slightly different case: If you've made the bracha but not eaten any yet, better to take a bite rather than have a wasted bracha. If you've made the bracha and already tasted it, why would spitting it out ruin your bracha? (You make a bracha on chewing gum, right?)
Dec 12, 2011 at 22:28 comment added Ariel K why? bracha livatala is more chamur than a minhag to wait.
Dec 12, 2011 at 21:39 comment added yitznewton I recall the question being posed in the context of hilchos brachos, and the outcome being that one should spit out the food and accept the brachah le-vatalah.
Dec 12, 2011 at 21:03 comment added Shalom @yydl, see Sanhedrin 62 and the discussion of מתעסק בחלבים ועריות. "if someone had something in their mouth that they weren't sure was chelev or shuman and they chose to swallow it ..." we see that swallowing constitutes further prohibited activity beyond just when it went into your mouth.
Dec 12, 2011 at 20:54 comment added yydl But perhaps once it entered your mouth you were already "over" and now it doesn't matter?
