Mark has day off cereal product (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bran

'cereal product' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for bran that I've seen before include "Husks of corn" , "Element in high fibre diet" , "Type of roughage" , "Outer covering of grain" , "Horse food stored in barn" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Times.
