For whom workers may make meals (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

anteaters

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'meals' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I don't see how one could define the other.

I don't understand the remainder of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for anteaters that I've seen before include "More than one insectivore" , "they take in the workers" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
