    Abstract

    In the original article, there was an error in weighting the data for the statistical analyses. The data was re-analyzed carefully using the correct weighting coefficients based on the country proportion in the total sample, to correctly control for underreporting from certain countries due to unequal survey collections. The key message of the published article remains the same, namely that food literacy in terms of selecting, preparing, and planning of healthy foods increased during COVID-19 lockdown among both women and men. Additionally,the perceived time availability and stay-at-home policies remain positively associated with increased food literacy levels, however only for women and not for men. Also, staying at home policies remains negatively associated with selecting healthier foods for women, though it is no longer significant for men. The new analyses with the correct weighting coefficients impact the Abstract, Materials and Methods (“Study Size and Statistical Analysis”), Results and Discussion sections, therefore corrections have been made. However, the list of adjustments appears more extensive than it actually is. All corrections are summed up per section.
