Food is called bolus from the time its in your mouth up till it reaches the stomach.
In the stomach the bolus' are churned physically and chemically. Over time it becomes chyme. That exits into the small intestine via the pyloric duct.
It's slowly turned tofecesas the vitamins and water are withdrawn in the large intestine.
Once in the rectum it is definitely feces.

Bolus is the food that is mashed up in your mouth. After it is digested in the stomach, the food is called chyme. Bolus is more alkaline than chyme because it is exposed to alkaline saliva. Teeth and saliva turn food into bolus. It is then swallowed and passes through the esophagus into the stomach. Chyme has a higher acidity content than bolus because it was exposed to hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Chyme enters the small intestine after digestion in the stomach.
Define the term chyme?
Chyme is a soupy blend of bolus and digestive juices. The bolus is chewed up food mixed with saliva after it has been swallowed and has traveled down the esophagus into the stomach. After the bolus enters the stomach, the stomach adds digestive juices, a combination of the hormone gastrin, and enzymes such as intrinsic factor, hydrochloric acid, and pepsinogen. Then it becomes chyme. It continues to be chyme until it enters the cecum, when it turns into feces in the colon.
