Fresh, cold and low in fat (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

clean

'fresh' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'cold and low in fat' is the wordplay.
'cold' becomes 'c' (eg on taps).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'low in fat' becomes 'lean'.
'c'+'lean'='CLEAN'

(Other definitions for clean that I've seen before include "Sterile" , "Pure; well-defined" , "Carrying no illegal drugs" , "Quite" , "thoroughly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
