Manna Pro Complete Mouse & Rat Food: Good or bad?

I'm mostly asking out of curiousity. I'm planning on using Mazuri as my mice's staple diet, but would like something to give them for variety.
This is the food in question. Here's the link to the official website.
GUARANTEED ANALYSIS:
Crude Protein 18.00%
Crude Fat 5.00%
Crude Fiber 8.00%
Calcium 1.00%
Calcium 1.50%
Phosphorus 0.50%
Salt 0.25%-0.75%
Vitamin A 3,000 IU/lb
Vitamin E 25 IU/lb
INGREDIENTS:
Wheat middlings
corn
soybean meal
vegetable oil
cane molasses
lignin sulfonate
calcium hydroxide
dried whey
yeast culture
calcium carbonate
salt
dl-methionine
propionic acid (a preservative)
l-lysine
choline chloride
zinc sulfate
ferrous sulfate
ferrous carbonate
yucca schidigera extract
manganous oxide
vitamin E supplement
manganese sulfate
zinc oxide
niacin supplement
copper sulfate
biotin
calcium pantothenate
vitamin B12 supplement
vitamin A supplement
riboflavin supplement
sodium selenite
pyridoxine hydrochloride
menadione dimethylpyrimidinol bisulfite
vitamin D3 supplement
thiamine mononitrate
folic acid
cobalt carbonate
calcium iodate
active dry yeast
dried aspergillus oryzae fermentation solubles
dried bacillus licheniformis fermentation solubles
dried bacillus subtilis fermentation solubles
dried bacillus amyloliquefaciens fermentation solubles
dried trichoderma longibrachiatum fermentation solubles
dried enterococcus faecium fermentation product
dried lactobacillus acidophilus fermentation product
dried lactobacillus casei fermentation product
dried lactobacillus plantarum fermentation product
There's a looooot of ingredients here I know nothing about, but a lot of the longer names seem like yogurt-based stuff. So what do you guys, who have way more experience than me, think of this food?

It’s high in crude protein for the average pet shop mouse, which can cause bad reactions. It looks pretty similar to most of the block food I’ve looked at. That is to say not great but nothing harmful. Basically sweetened fortified corn, wheat, and soy. Pretty much the same as mazuri. IMO, block food should be fed alongside a good seed mix. Variety is an important part of a healthy diet.
