While the base of many Takis snacks is simple corn, a deep dive into the ingredients reveals that not all flavors are free from animal products. Some varieties contain dairy-based seasonings, carmine (a red food dye from insects), or gelatin, making it crucial to read the label carefully if you follow a vegan or vegetarian diet.

According to reports by the Environmental Working Group (EWG), Takis are classified as an ultra-processed food due to their long ingredient list, which includes additives of higher concern like TBHQ and artificial colors. This article will break down what ingredients do they put in Takis, exploring the core components and the seasoning blends for popular flavors.
