Is there another company that own's Elmer's that would have acquired a pfc?
And this indicates that Elmer's quit using casien after WWII:
http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/210688/unique_uses_for_elmers_glue.html"The Borden Co. purchased the Casein Co. in 1929, because the Casein Co. happened to be the leading manufacturer of glues made from casein, which is a milk by-product. In 1932, Borden had introduced Casco Glue, the first nonfood consumer product. Borden expanded into synthetic resin glues that did not use casein after World War II. What we know today as Elmer's Glue-All first appeared under the name Cascorez, and was packaged in two-ounce glass jars with wooden applicators. Sales for his household product did not really start to take off until 1951, when Elsie's husband, Elmer was chosen for the product's new marketing symbol. It wasn't until 1952, that Elmer's Glue-All had been repackaged into the familiar plastic squeeze bottle with that orange applicator top."
Also found reference that they bought Eagle Brand Foods, not Eagle Pack pet foods - not related that I can find....
and this on PetAg & Bordens:

PetAg begins producing companion animal nutritional supplements. Founded in the 1930s as a division of Borden, Inc., PetAg invented the category of neonatal or newborn nutrition.
"The pet industry has dramatically evolved over the years,' says Darlene Frudakis, president and chief operating officer of PetAg. "Consumers have become much more health conscious for both themselves and their pets.'"
And, it looks like PetAg develops further:
http://www.agr.state.il.us/marketing/news/September_2007/September2007MarketingPerspectives.htmlI"n 1986, PetAg began a new chapter in its history as a separate company independent of Borden. At that point it expanded into new markets both domestically and internationally, and began to make strategic acquisitions. In 1991, we acquired Rawhide Brand?, a leading line of dog chews."
"Our newest innovative introductions of Rawhide Brand? Dog Chews include the Fresh Bark Dental Mint Chew to answer the specific dental needs of dogs. Rawhide Brand? is a perennial favorite of dogs and dog owners. Rawhide Brand? Dog Chews provide variety, innovative patented processes including marinade flavors, and added nutriceuticals such as Glucosamine. The patented Safety Knot? bone design is hand crafted to prolong the chewing process. These high quality, healthy products are perhaps the most popular ultra premium dog chews. Pet owners stay loyal to Rawhide Brand? and Chunky Chew? products because they know these are the safest and longest lasting dog chews for breeds of all sizes. "
