Food inequality as a sociological issue requires understanding the changes in vulnerability profiles and food insecurity situations not linked to poverty. In the Peruvian context, where food security indicators show a situation of instability in widespread food consumption and where poverty and food insecurity do not show parallel metrics, this research proposes a new analysis approach focused on the “factual” distribution of food, that is to say, physical access as a fundamental part of food availability and SA in general. Thus, the main objective of this research was to review the effect of supply markets from two dimensions, density and quality, on the SA of Peruvian households during 2021. The moderating effect of these on the SA was analyzed through a multilevel model so that other household variables related to vulnerability factors can be analyzed, considering said initial effect. As results, it was found that the state of food insecurity in Peru is widespread and worrying, regardless of the specific characteristics and geographical location of the households. Based on what was found in the models, the inability of a household to satisfy its nutritional needs is correlated with the ability to organize spending, the predictability of diverse and stable sources of income, rather than the absence of income perse. While the markets, although they show a significant effect, it is substantially small. In that sense, food supply/physical access and economic access operate mutually and are part of the operational restrictions of the SA of the Peruvian households in the sample. Thus, households with characteristics of economic uncertainty are not capable of generating “market demands” (Pedraza, 2005, s/p); therefore, even when there is food availability, SA is not assured.
