Personally I'm always dubious about things that claim to be full of Essential omega oils and all that jazz.

Quoted from Description

The Beaphar Care+ range is the first, totally complete, super premium food available for the small pet, offering the highest possible quality and formulation known to man. The high quality proteins and Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids ensures that an animal will have a healthy and long life with out experiencing the diseases caused by nutritional deficiencies. The foods also contain prebiotics and Yucca extracts and the chelated minerals improve absorption and supply to the body.
Being developed in cooperation with veterinary surgeons, dieticians and leading rodent experts this food has to be the very best available on the market today.

The prebiotic is a fairly good addition. Not sure about the omega fatty acids, yucca extracts and chelated minerals.

Most people tend to use Harry Hamster Food, currently the only food recommended by the National Hamster Council. Apart from anything it's a fairly good mix. To be honest most of the general dry mixes are roughly the same, but watch out for ones high in sugar or disguised sugars (such as fructose) as these can be harmful to hamsters leading to problems with diabetes, cavities etc. As with any food change, if you do switch brand introduce the new brand slowly to avoid upsetting your hamsters stomach.
