The source specified the following information: "People with insufficient food consumption refers to those with poor or borderline food consumption.
Poor food consumption: Typically refers to households that are not consuming staples and vegetables every day and never or very seldom consume protein-rich food such as meat and dairy (FCS [food consumption score] of less than 28).
Borderline food consumption: Typically refers to households that are consuming staples and vegetables every day, accompanied by oil and pulses a few times a week (FCS of less than 42).
Acceptable food consumption: Typically refers to households that are consuming staples and vegetables every day, frequently accompanied by oil and pulses, and occasionally meat, fish, and dairy (FCS greater than 42).
Food Consumption Score (FCS) is a proxy of a household's food access and a core WFP indicator used to classify households into different groups based on the adequacy of the foods consumed in the week prior to being surveyed. FCS is the most commonly used food security indicator by WFP and partners. This indicator is a composite score based on a household's dietary diversity, food frequency, and relative nutritional importance of different food groups. The FCS is calculated using the frequency of consumption of eight food groups by a household during the 7 days before the survey using standardized weights for each of the food groups reflecting its respective nutrient density, and then classifies households as having ‘poor’, ‘borderline’, or ‘acceptable’ food consumption."
