My pet got into the Fresh Pack inside a shelf stable product! Help!Updated 19 days ago

The fresh packs are made up of silica and an iron powder and are included in shelf stable foods and treats to absorb moisture and keep foods fresh.

Here is some info from the company who makes them:

My pet ate a packet. What should I do?

This happens quite frequently as our products are packaged with jerky products as well as other pet treat products.

We would like to first inform you that our products are FDA Approved to be used with food products and will not cause any harm to your pet animal. We do ask that the owners watch over the pet animal for about 48 hours to see if it shows any symptoms of an allergic reaction. If the pet animal shows symptoms of having an allergic reaction, please take it to the vet immediately for treatment. If the pet animal is not showing any symptoms of an allergic reaction, we ask that the pet animal be given plenty of water to drink, as it will get thirsty.

In most cases the pet will not show any symptoms of an allergic reaction and will be completely fine.
