The Best Start Foods prepaid card can be used in more than 2200 local convenience stores.

We have launched a new partnership with the Scottish Grocers Federation which will see the card promoted in smaller shops across the country.

If you received Scottish Child Payment or Best Start Grant during pregnancy or when your child was under 3, we check automatically if you are also eligible for Best Start Foods. If you were eligible, you should have been sent a prepaid card.

The card is topped up every 4 weeks and money will build up on it if you don't spend it. Please check your balance as you could have extra money that you could put towards healthy food for you and your family.

You can check your balance online, at a cash machine or over the phone. If your card has been lost or damaged, you can order a replacement by calling allpay on 0808 196 1687.
