I have seen in in dried foods like beef jerky or seaweed.

Or anything freeze dried!

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.

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