Ok guys, seriosuly no offence, but are you all from the states? I don’t want to do the usual US bashing, but I’ve never seriously seen silica gel in any kind of food, and especially in oral medicines that are individually packaged in protective atmosphere. So I feel like like it’s a cultural difference
Lemmy is probably primarily US like Reddit. (US here.)
I can imagine silica being in a medicine bottle. After you break the seal, you’ll put the lid back on and the medicine should stay dry. I’m uncertain whether I’ve ever actually seen that, though.
What kind of food are you eating that is packaged alongside silica gel?
I have seen in in dried foods like beef jerky or seaweed.
Or anything freeze dried!

Seen it many times in Europe (Czech Republic) and now in Japan in some packages.

It’s included in bottles of oral medication as well.
Foods that are ruined by ambient humidity, that’s what kind.
