Not all desiccants are the same. First off check the label to see if it says 'Made in China'. I would toss that one. Next, not all desiccants are food safe, some are industrial only. You also have no idea what has been absorbed by the desiccant. So bottom line. I do not think it is a good idea to use a desiccant. You have too much time and effort involved to get ruined at this last stage of the game.
