I think I am right in saying that the reaction between Fe and oxygen is 
direct. Where would the CO2 and H2O come from? The carbon in the packs 
does not ignite.

There should be no CO2 produced and I think any H2 production at the 
temperatures involved would be negligible. To try to settle all this, I 
emailed the distributor of the heat packs I use, but haven't heard back yet.
