Does include freshness tablet--BUT . . .
I ordered fifty (50) 300cc sachets from this link.
Then, I found one hundred packets for just a little more money at another link. However, they were described on that page as 'only' 100cc sachets.
The photos were identical for both the 300cc and 100cc products, so I ordered both. When I received them, they were in fact both nearly indistinguishable in size and marking (see my posted photo).
I went to the OxyFree's website where they list the 100cc sachets in 100-count packages.
The sealed package from the seller of the 100cc sachets included a tag which indicated the 504A SKU number referenced on OxyFree's website, along with a QC number. This seemed to be evidence of a genuine product/description. Furthermore, the sealing of the plastic bag was uniform all the way around. The sachets measured about 35x55mm (somewhat inconsistent with the 40x50mm dimensions on the website).
On the other hand, the "300cc" sachets from this vendor now start to look suspicious. OxyFree doesn't appear to package the 300cc sachets in quantities of 20, which at the very least means they have been repackaged (and exposed to air/oxygen in the process). More suspicious evidence is the fact that the sealed bags have a uniform pattern on three edges, and a visually different sealing pattern on the fourth edge. This made me think that they may have been hand-sealed. The bags had an Oak Tea label, pasted over a Sorbent Systems label. Finally, the "300cc" sachets I received measured 45x50mm (closer to the dimensions for the 100cc sachets, according to OxyFree). The real killer is that ACTUAL 300cc packets are much larger (50x70mm) according to the website.
The "300cc" sachets DID come with a freshness indicating tablet (despite what Steven said 3 months ago). AND, they sent me 60, instead of 50--a bonus (I guess).
Aside from the fact that they include a freshness-indicating tablet, because it appears that these have been repackaged, and especially because it appears that they have been misrepresented as to absorption capacity, I am going to return these.
I recommend against buying this product from this particular vendor. Look for the qty 100 100cc packages with the product ID number and quality control label inside the bag.
2013-01-13 Update: Vendor was Oak Tea International. The original order was placed in 2011, so I don't know if there is still an issue with what they are currently shipping.
