In the published article, there was an error in Table 2 [Food (in)security and poverty reports indices and indicators referring to food poverty dimensions.] as published [the index “FIES” was missing in the row for “mental” and the column “Food (in)security indices*”]. The corrected Table 2 appears below.

In the published article, there was an error in Table 3 [Food (in)security indices with indicators on food poverty dimensions.] as published [a cross was missing in the row for “FIES” and the “Mental” column. Accordingly, the total value of the “mental” column has changed from 2 to 3]. The corrected Table 3 appears below.

“In comparison to social food poverty, which is considered by a total of eight indices, it becomes clear that the focus of the measurement of food (in)security is on the indicators that can predominantly be used to describe the status of material food poverty. Of the eight indices that also have indicators for social food poverty dimensions, six include indicators for the social dimension, five for the cultural dimension, and two for the mental dimension of social food poverty.”
