“…It is noteworthy that of the several hundred thousand peer-reviewed papers related to COVID-19 published during the pandemic, only a few articles discussed how COVID-19 impacted the food security of international migrants. Furthermore, only four of the studies in this scoping review were carried out in European countries, revealing a lack of research awareness on this subject and a disregard of the fact that food insecurity among migrants is also increasing in high-income countries such as Norway [ 91 ]. Based on the food security framework used in this study, we have found several gaps in the research and in knowledge.…”

The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus and the measures imposed to control it have impacted food security globally, particularly among vulnerable populations. Food insecurity, in turn, has repercussions on health, exacerbating pre-existing inequalities. This scoping review maps the literature describing associations between the COVID-19 pandemic and food insecurity among migrants, with a particular view toward health. A total of 909 papers were extracted through four electronic databases, and 46 studies were included. The migrant populations described originated mainly from Latin America (11/46) and were located in North America (21/46). Most studies included refugees and asylum seekers (20/46). The main challenges described were financial hardship (28/46), the effect of migrants’ documentation status on using public food aid (13/46), and the suspension of or reduction in humanitarian assistance due to the economic recession (7/46). The impact of food insecurity on migrants’ mental and physical health was described in 26 of the 46 studies. Authorities in all destination countries should focus their attention and efforts into ensuring nutrition security for migrants in a holistic way, including their economic and legal integration, to be better prepared for health crises in the future.
