Default Whats a good storebought foodmix?

I currently feed my syrian the menu hamster food and I have a strong feeling its not the best. Is there any good food mixes on amazon or walmart? I try to give her small pieces of boiled chicken and egg and every now and then, since I know menu lacks in protein. Are there any other nutrients I should pay more attention to, like protein?

The proper diet in the US is Higgins Vita Garden, not Sunburst(which has lots of dried fruit that isn't good for hamsters regardless of species as they generally wouldn't naturally be eating much fruit).

The things I would definitely add to Higgins Vita Garden to make it an even better and more balanced food overall are Pure Bites freeze dried chicken/turkey/shrimp(shrimp being ideal for a lean protein source), as well as flax seeds which are great for adding healthy fats to the diet. Flax seeds are also very good for maintaining a healthy coat!
