The source adds the following information:
"A representative sample of the French population (according to the sociodemographic criteria of Insee) consists of 12,000 households for their product purchases (with or without barcodes). However, the purchases of these households are only taken into account when they are at their primary residence. As a result, the sample tends to shrink during the summer vacation period. This is a self-reporting method: households report their purchases for home consumption each week, also providing information on the places of purchase. The GMS aggregate (Large and Medium-Sized Retailers) includes hypermarkets, supermarkets, convenience stores, EDMP ('private label dominant brands' also called 'hard discount'), and e-commerce (including drive-through). The 'Specific and others' aggregate includes traditional shops (butcher, poultry seller, delicatessen-caterer), markets, and direct sales channels. The term freezer-center refers to stores specializing in the sale of frozen products."

** For fresh products and delicatessen only: Butcher, poultry seller, delicatessen-caterer / For frozen products only: Freezer center
