“…Food insecurity, as described above, concerns a lack of access to proper nutrition. This lack of nutritious foods has been linked to low household income (Lachance et al, 2014; Wolf & Morrissey, 2017; Wolfson et al, 2020) therefore, it is understood in the present study as an indicator of low SES. While there is limited research concerning food insecurity in Latinx populations, especially among Latinx adolescents, a previous study conducted with a Canadian sample of Latinx immigrants from Brazil, Columbia, and Mexico found that there was a significantly high prevalence of food insecurity, especially among children, that was connected to the low household incomes of the families (Vahabi et al, 2011).…”

“…Food insecurity, or the limited access to or uncertainty of being able to acquire nutritionally adequate and safe foods (Kotchick et al, 2021; Wolf & Morrissey, 2017) was faced by approximately 10.5% of households in the United States during 2019, with 13.9% of these households containing a child under 18 years old (Kotchick et al, 2021). Food insecurity can reflect a family’s socioeconomic status (SES), as low-income families are more likely to experience food insecurity (Wolfson et al, 2020). According to previous research, Latinx youth are more likely to experience economic hardship relative to their counterparts of other ethnic–racial groups (Liu et al, 2018), as illustrated by the upward of 6 million Latinx children currently living in poverty (Rothe et al, 2021).…”

“…Adequate food safety strategies, nutrition knowledge and food‐related skills are required to fulfil the ‘utilisation’ pillar in order to be able to transform food into a total diet that meets ‘dietary needs and food preferences’ (Food & Agriculture Organization, 2008). Recently, analysis of a nationally representative, longitudinal panel in the USA demonstrated that lower parental nutrition knowledge was associated with a higher risk of food insecurity when those children reached young adulthood (Wolfson et al., 2020). Additionally, there is some evidence to suggest that the absence of food literacy (food‐related skills) is associated with HFI (Begley et al., 2019).…”

“…While developing food‐related skills and knowledge from a young age has been associated with higher consumption of fruit and vegetables and higher food security in adulthood (Laska et al., 2012; Wolfson et al., 2020), there is a lack of knowledge in relation to the development of the broader range of food literacy skills and knowledge such as food hygiene practices, understanding food origins and selecting food sources according to quality. As children at a young age are less cognitively developed (Wadsworth, 1996), this is likely to influence the type of food literacy skills and knowledge shared by the dietary gatekeeper in comparison to adolescents and older children.…”

“…Importantly, the parent who performs the role of the dietary gatekeeper in the household is primarily responsible for food shopping and meal preparation and thus has a significant influence on food consumption in the home (Burton et al, 2017;Gamez, 2018;Reid et al, 2015). As such, the dietary gatekeeper plays a critical role in promoting healthy eating behaviours in children, which have been shown to persist into adulthood (Janacsek et al, 2012;Laska et al, 2012;Wolfson et al, 2020). Research suggests that in many families this gatekeeper often is the mother (Burton et al, 2017;Reid et al, 2015).The concept of food literacy has emerged as a broader perspective of critical food capabilities required by consumers, beyond just nutritional knowledge or cooking skills.…”
