Evidence of slur after organis­ation dropping regulation for food, supposedly? (4-6,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

five-second rule

'dropping regulation for food supposedly?' is the definition.
(rule for if dropped food can be picked up)

'evidence of slur after organisation' is the wordplay.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'organisation' indicates anagramming the letters.
'evidence'+'of'+'slur'='evidenceofslur'
'evidenceofslur' is an anagram of 'FIVE-SECOND RULE'.
