I thought I'd heard before that Elmers white glue was basically casein, 
(which wouldn't be surprising since their logo is a cow's head) but 
according to their faq at 
http://www.elmers.com/products/faq/index.asp
it's not.  Perhaps it originally was.

  I have a milk allergy, are your products safe for me to use?

  Our products are derived from synthetic materials, not any type of animal
  or milk protein. Of course, if you experience any kind of allergic
  reaction, be sure to check with your doctor regardless of the type of
  product you are using.
