Rotten crisis produced bans (12)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

restrictions

'bans' is the definition.
(restriction can mean a ban on something)

'rotten crisis produced' is the wordplay.
'produced' is an anagram indicator.
'rotten'+'crisis'='rottencrisis'
'rottencrisis' with letters rearranged gives 'RESTRICTIONS'.
