What is Sodium Caseinate?

Know your products labeling instead of fearing them. 
-----
Sodium Caseinate:
"Sodium caseinate is the 'biochemical' name for casein, which is a type of protein found in the milk from all mammals. Casein, which is Latin for "cheese," is a major component of commercial cheese and its principle source of protein; it is also used as a food additive and for industrial purposes. Casein is the name for a group of four related proteins. These proteins are found in all mammalian milk, providing 80 percent of the protein in cow milk and about 60 percent of the protein in human milk, according to the textbook "Nutritional Sciences." Overall, casein represents about 3 percent of the content of cow milk, but more than 10 percent for most cheeses. As a food source, casein supplies essential amino acids, carbohydrates, sodium, calcium and phosphorus."

Doesn't sound so scary now - does it?
What is really important is to know you and what works for or against you. As well as ... everything in moderation for each individual. 
If you have an allergy with anything, you have choices. You can accept it or do all you can to build up a tolerance to it. 
Now, saying all this, we must me rational in that children are not on their own. They rely on adult thinking and depend on adults to reason for them. Children learn fear; they are not born with it. 
Look at your labels and look up the meaning to those chemicals you see on them. 
Peace of mind is also an ability we learn.
