There are also some concerning vague ingredients/additives. "Dehydrated vegetables" can mean anything, and while many vegetables are quite safe for hamsters there are also quite a few that are absolutely not safe. This food also includes unknown "spices" as an additive which is certainly not safe either!

ETA there's also orange in the ingredients list and even if it's quite far down it is still not an ingredient you want to see in hamster food. Citric acid as a preservative is fine, but orange despite not being toxic to hamsters isn't a species appropriate ingredient and mostly is a potential risk factor for digestive upset and such.
