commingled goods

Commingled goods refer to goods so physically united with other goods such that the identity of the original goods is lost. 

  • For example, flour becomes a commingled good when it is used to bake bread. 

The new good created from commingled goods is known as a product or mass. Whether a good is commingled is of particular importance when discussing secured transactions.
