I'd say it's not a threat...at least not a significant threat.  Although a book called "The China Study" purports that casein protein is unhealthy, this is not scientifically accepted as fact.  MANY dietary supplements (protein powders) contain lots of casein.  Likewise, about 80% of the protein found in milk is casein.  So even if casein weren't 'healthy' per se, an extremely small amount would not be likely to have adverse effects.
