*Any* case where we got new information.  Take the classic case of two 
pieces of fat, one shuman and one chelev, but one doesn't know which is 
which, and then one later finds out.  Before finding out both were 
assur; if one ate one of them beshogeg one brings an asham and the other 
piece remains assur.  Once the new information is acquired the shuman 
becomes permitted, and if it transpired that one ate the chelev one must 
now bring a chatas.
