Just found the following below on a now defunct Hamster Society website:

List of Poisonous Plants
The following list is not meant to be exhaustive.
A
alfalfa, almond pits, alocasia, amaryllis, apple seeds, arrow grass, avocado, azalea, autumn crocus
Now look at the list of ingredients on the side of the packet and you guessed it number 2 is alfalfa.
What are they trying to do ? Poison our little furry friends.
Perhaps this is why the hams won't eat the black bits in the meal?
And who is going to inform the manufacturers that one of their ingredients in their food is toxic to hamsters? Perhaps we all ought to send email or use the contact form and get in touch with Supreme Petfoods and then maybe they'll remove the offending ingredient.
