Will the stuck DME cause any sort of contamination?

I made a yest starter today for my NE IPA and I noticed (after I pitched my yeast) that some of the DME I used was stuck to the bottom of the Erlenmeyer flask. I boiled the water-DME mixture in the flask for 15 minutes and then chilled it like I normally do. Will the stuck dme at the bottom of the flask cause any sort of contamination?

Thanks,
Bart
 
No. If you boiled then the temp was high enough to kill anything. You are fine, with chunkies in your starter. No big deal.
