Default Best food on the market?

Hi all I've been feeding Harry hamster and after some more research I just don't know if it's the best I could be doing for my girl.

What's the best food on the market? I don't mind buying 2/3 and mixing a couple different foods.

Give me the best quality hamster food you think there is

Side question has anybody tried rodipet food I've heard really good things?

Three different species of hamsters live with me.

My older Syrian had two bowls for a while, one with Harry Hamster and one with Rodipet Syrian hamster food because i wanted to know what he prefers.
He ate and hoarded both but more so the chunkier Harry Hamster so he stayed on that because Harry Hamster is a good food mix.

He didn't care much for the Mr. Johnson's mix which appears to be too fruity and sweet so this went out to the birds.

My Robo eats the Rodipet junior dwarf hamster food which is small textured and ideal for a tiny hamster.

My dwarfs eat the Rodipet junior hybrid hamster food which is the only suitable food for diabetes prone dwarfs i was able to find.

All my hamsters get fresh food and linseeds daily and treats are mealworms, pumpkin seeds etc.

Do you have a Syrian? A lot of Syrians do fine with Harry Hamster but other foods are more natural & preferred for that reason.
It’s hard to say which is the best really but I think food from Rodipet (used by lots of people here but most frequently for dwarf species) Getzoo & Mixerama.
How old is your ham? If she’s still young then gradually changing her diet would be fine but with an older ham I would be wary of making a total change to a very different kind of mix.
