Any material used to absorb and hold moisture is known as a diseccant. The silica gel diseccants used in product packaging are environmentally friendly and non-toxic. Sometimes, however, part of the diseccants may have a moisture indicator in them. This moisture indicator may be toxic, which is why diseccants are labeled "DO NOT EAT."
