Rotten crisis produced bans (12)
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'.
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
