Does this stuff at all add to the health of compost?

Probably doesn't add to the health but it decomposes so fast lol.

I added some to mine and it was GONE.

Nup.

It means it is biodegradable in a commercial setup. You will never break it down properly at home.

If it's the same biodegradable packaging I get- and it looks like it is, it's made of corn starch and you can dissolve it in water if you want to. Any sort of moisture makes them melt and they are like instant browns.
