Hearing about food found in case (8)
I believe the answer is:
tribunal
'hearing' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'food found in case' is the wordplay.
'food' becomes 'bun' (bun is a kind of food).
'found in' indicates putting letters inside.
'case' becomes 'trial' (court case).
'bun' going into 'trial' is 'TRIBUNAL'.
'about' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for tribunal that I've seen before include "A panel of judges" , "Hearing" , "examination" , "Assembly to conduct judicial business" , "Special court" .)
