Tag: Healthy start card

The NHS Healthy Start card is a prepaid card, designed with specific limitations. Its functionality is limited to certain transactions, fundamentally restricting what can be done with the funds and where the card can be used.

According to official NHS guidance, products with added ingredients like fat, salt, or sugar are not permitted for purchase using the card. This means you cannot buy frozen chips with a Healthy Start card, and understanding the specific rules for processed foods is crucial for beneficiaries.
