Is Pets At Home sawdust ok for a hamster?

Fly Boys asked:


It says on the back of the pack that it’s okay for hamsters, but i’ve seen on other websites that it can cause problems. But i think they’re talking about non-petshop saw dust, but is it okay?
i bought some earlier, would it be ok to use it for around 3 weeks untill i run out. Then i’ll get larger wood/paper shavings?
It also states clearly this: dust extracted.

    Never use sawdust, as it will harm your poor ham’s lungs. Use aspen wood shavings.
