Default Best food for hamster?

Hi! We are on our last little bit of food for our dwarf hamster. Wondering if there were better brands / varieties to purchase? Thanks!

It really depends on where in the world you're located. In the US and Canada in particular your best option is Higgins Vita Garden, while in the UK & a significant portion of Europe the best food will be from Rodipet.

If you are in the UK along with Rodipet there is also getzoo, but it depends how quickly you need it. I imagine at the moment there will be delays as both Getzoo and Rodipet have to be shipped to the UK.
If you are in the UK you might want to look into bunny dreams food from zooplus

The best foods in Europe (in order of preference) are: Futterparadies/FutterKrameri > Getzoo > Mixerama/Rodipet

Rodipet would be my lowest preference of food, and there are much higher quality options available with Getzoo. Rodipet is very herb & flake heavy, and I've had a lot of hamsters not like their mixes. On top of it, it is stupidly over priced. It is good quality, but it's not great nor is it anywhere near the best.

Unfortunately though, Rodipet (i think) and Getzoo are currently not shipping the UK. But, they said they hope to have the issue resolved by the new year. Until then, i would check out Mixerama who are still shipping (Mixeramas mixes are also better than rodipets).
