You don't transplant the organ but the feces. They get processed in the intestine. Stuff that enters the body to be processed in the intestine is food for some definition of "food".
But once you accept the goal to get feces into the gut, the way is only a detail that's open to change.
By the time that stuff is in the colon -- which is what gets transplanted -- it's not food any more. At least not for humans.
