A reduction in consumption for certain food products within income groups over the years has been established, and differentiation in consumption between groups has been revealed, which is a consequence of low economic accessibility. The difference in the structure of consumer incomes within groups is shown, leading to a decrease in spending on expensive food products as income increases. The presented price increase was a factor in the refusal to consume a number of food products. The discrepancy between consumption and nutrition standards corresponding to a healthy lifestyle for all income groups was proved, which determined the lack of awareness about the necessary consumption of households. The backlog of food production from the norms presented in the Doctrine has been revealed.
