Are Takis Halal?

Quick answer It depends

Takis are not halal-certified. The maker says its products contain no pork, lard, pork gelatine, alcohol or carmine, but no halal authority has certified them. Some halal reviewers have raised questions about enzymes in particular flavours and markets, so check the UK pack for any animal-derived enzymes or cheese.

What the maker says

Barcel, which makes Takis, says on its FAQ that Takis contain no pork, lard, pork gelatine, alcohol or carmine, while noting they are not halal-certified.

What to check

  • "Enzymes" or "cheese" in flavours that contain dairy.
  • Flavourings, which are usually plant-based.
  • The country of manufacture: UK-sold Takis come from Barcel's UK operation, while imports follow other recipes.

Takis also sells meat sticks in some countries, which contain pork and are not halal.
