New items turn out to be foods (10)

I believe the answer is:

nutriments

'be foods' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'new items turn out' is the wordplay.
'new' becomes 'n'.
'out' is an anagram indicator (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'items'+'turn'='itemsturn'
'itemsturn' is an anagram of 'utriments'.
'n'+'utriments'='NUTRIMENTS'

'to' acts as a link.

(Another definition for nutriments that I've seen is " foods".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
