The Torah is the OT. The ark of the covenant is a type of Christ, and it contains the manna.
The shewbread and the offerings were performed by the priesthood. These offerings are also a type of Christ. Jesus is the Lamb of God, Jesus is a sin offering, a peace offering, etc.
So the idea that the concept of eating Christ was unique to the gospel of John and completely absent from the Jewish Torah is not accurate.
I find it very difficult to believe that any Christian would have an issue with referring to Jesus as our sin offering. The sin offering according to the Torah, was to be eaten.
