The Priority Places for Food Index has ranked local areas by the likelihood of people needing extra support to put food on the table.
When Which? visited a food bank in the local area, volunteer David Fletcher said:"Where this food bank is, there's no supermarket within two miles."
The top five worst affected areas in England were: Birmingham Hodge Hill, Knowsley, Houghton and Sunderland South, Birmingham Northfield and Birmingham and Perry Barr.A number of the worst-affected constituencies have high-profile MPs on both sides of the divide attached to them. Bridget Phillipson, Labour's shadow minister for education, represents Houghton and Sunderland South, which sits third on the list.
In Wales, Which? found the highest concentration of areas at high risk during the food crisis were in the Valleys where proximity to a large supermarket or access to online deliveries may be very poor. In Scotland, the places in highest need of support were in the Central Belt, according but there is also a notable concentration in and around Dundee where there is relatively poor access to online food deliveries and people are more likely to be suffering from fuel poverty and on a low income.
