Green beans are a safe and healthy choice for pregnant women. They are a good source of vitamin A, vitamin K, and folate. You can safely eat green beans during all three trimesters of pregnancy as long as you stick to those that have been appropriately prepared.

To ensure they are safe to eat during pregnancy, fresh green beans should be washed thoroughly with water. Green bean casserole can last up to four days in the fridge before it needs to be discarded.
If you have any leftover casserole, you should put it back into the fridge immediately after preparation. Make sure to check for signs of spoilage before consuming it.

Green bean casserole should not be left out overnight as it can spoil and become unsafe to eat. Cooked beans should not be eaten if they were left out for more than two hours.
If it’s a particularly hot night (over 90 degrees Fahrenheit), the suggestion is one hour. So, no—green bean casserole is not okay if left out overnight.
