Yes. If by “do not come in plastic packaging” you mean no plastic pouch/container and preferably no plastic film around each dose, there are several good choices. I’d focus on tablets rather than pods, because many “plastic-free” pods still use a dissolvable PVA/PVOH film.

Good options

Blueland Fragrance-Free Dishwasher Detergent Tablets - $15.99 (Target)
Branch Basics Dishwasher Tablets - $14.99 (Target)
Clean People Plastic-Free Dishwasher Tablets - $19.99 (Walmart - Clean People.)
Blueland Dishwasher Tablets, 220-count - $49.99 (Costco)
Blueland Dishwasher Tablets — probably the clearest match. The tablets themselves are plastic-free, and the refill packaging is industrially compostable paper. They also offer fragrance-free and lemon options.
Branch Basics Dishwasher Tablets — plastic-free, microplastic-free tablets with a fragrance-free formula. A good option if you want to avoid fragrance and keep the ingredient list relatively simple.
Clean People Dishwasher Tablets — another plastic-free tablet option, with phosphate-, chlorine-, and synthetic-fragrance-free formulations.
Dropps Dishwasher Pods — worth considering if you specifically want pods rather than tablets. The outer packaging is curbside-recyclable paperboard, but the individual pods use PVOH film. Dropps says this film is water-soluble and biodegradable, but if your goal is zero plastic-like film whatsoever, I'd choose a tablet instead.

One important distinction

“Plastic-free packaging” and “plastic-free detergent” aren't always the same thing. For example, Dropps uses a PVOH film around its pods, while Blueland's tablets don't use that film at all. Blueland explicitly states that its formula is free of PVA/PVOH.

For the strictest interpretation of what you're looking for, I'd start with Blueland or another unwrapped tablet. If you'd like, I can also , including where to buy them.
