Summary/Abstract: The aim of this article is to present the scale of problems concerning economic access to food problem in European Union countries, above all, by determining the disposable income of European Union (EU) households, the share of households’ food expenditure and the price level of food products. Despite the opinion that the economic aspect of the food security problem is not significant in highly-developed EU countries, in 2015 almost every tenth inhabitant of the EU lived in material deprivation, and for financial reasons was not able to afford a meal with meat, chicken, fish (or a vegetarian equivalent) every second day.
