Navy beans are recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. They are a nutrient-dense food, providing fiber, protein, and various vitamins and minerals. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have not set specific upper limits for navy bean consumption, as they are a whole food. Evidence suggests that the fiber and resistant starch in beans can support digestive health and help manage blood sugar levels.
