Explorer cut up duck in case of food concerns circulating (7,8)

'explorer' is the definition.
(I know that Matthew Flinders is a explorer)

'cut up duck in case of food concerns circulating' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'cut' could be 'hew' (hew can mean to chop or cut) and 'hew' is present in the answer.
'in' is present in the answer.
'food' could be 'e' (E is an example) and 'e' is present in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
