Crossword Genius

Processed grain etc, providing food (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

catering

'providing food' is the definition.

'processed grain etc' is the wordplay.
'processed' indicates an anagram.
'grain'+'etc'='grainetc'
'grainetc' anagrammed gives 'CATERING'.

(Other definitions for catering that I've seen before include "Providing food and drink" , "The supplying of meals" , "provision of food" , "essential feature of the tourist industry" , "Providing food, entertainment etc." .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
