Moved to a prison - having used this in food? (3-6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rat-poison

'used this in food?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'moved to a prison' is the wordplay.
'moved' indicates anagramming the letters.
'to'+'a'+'prison'='toaprison'
'toaprison' is an anagram of 'RAT-POISON'.

'having' is the link.

(Other definitions for rat-poison that I've seen before include "Rodenticide" , "Vermin killer" , "Rodent killer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
