Any male in a priest's family may eat it, but it must be eaten in the sanctuary area; it is most holy. The guilt offering portions eaten by the priests — like the sin offering portions — are restricted to males of the priestly family and must be eaten within the sanctuary area. The consistency of the most holy regulations across the sin and guilt offerings communicates the consistent standard: what is most holy must be handled by the most holy personnel in the most holy location. The sanctuary area that is the site of the worship is also the dining room of the priests who administer it.
