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 the published article, there was an error regarding a reference citation

A correction has been made to 3 Material and methods, “3.3 Inclusion and exclusion criteria”. This sentence previously stated:

“To be included in the scoping review, the indices and indicators had to describe at least one aspect that can be assigned to a dimension of food poverty according to 25 concept.”

The corrected sentence appears below:

“To be included in the scoping review, the indices and indicators had to describe at least one aspect that can be assigned to a dimension of food poverty according to Feichtinger's (37) concept.”

In the published article, there was an error regarding the numbers stated

A correction has been made to 4 Results, “4.1 Dimensions of food poverty covered by identified indices and indicators”, paragraph 2. This sentence previously stated:

“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.”

The corrected sentence appears below:

“In comparison to social food poverty, which is considered by a total of nine 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 nine indices that also have indicators for social food poverty dimensions, six include indicators for the social dimension, five for the cultural dimension, and three for the mental dimension of social food poverty.”

In the published article, there was an error regarding the numbers stated.

A correction has been made to 4 Results, “4.2 Social dimensions of food poverty in food (in)security and poverty assessments”, paragraph 1. This sentence previously stated:

“In total, five indices could be identified that show references to the social dimension of food poverty.”

The corrected sentence appears below:

“In total, six indices could be identified that show references to the social dimension of food poverty.”

In the published article, there was an error regarding the numbers stated and some information was missing.

A correction has been made to 4 Results, “4.2 Social dimensions of food poverty in food (in)security and poverty assessments”, paragraph 1. This sentence previously stated:

“Furthermore, the mental sub-dimension of social food poverty is only addressed by two indices. The Livelihood Coping Strategies—Food Security Index (LCS-FS) records bizarre coping strategies to obtain food, such as begging for food or prostitution. The Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS) includes the item of worrying about having enough food.”

The corrected sentence appears below:

“Furthermore, the mental sub-dimension of social food poverty is only addressed by three indices. The Livelihood Coping Strategies—Food Security Index (LCS-FS) records bizarre coping strategies to obtain food, such as begging for food or prostitution. The Household Food Insecurity Access Scale (HFIAS) and FIES include the item of worrying about having enough food.”

The authors apologize for this error and state that this does not change the scientific conclusions of the article in any way. The original article has been updated.
