Takis introduces six flavors to its lineup
The new tortilla chips are made without artificial flavors.
Grupo Bimbo's (Barcel USA) snack brand Takis is releasing six all-new flavors this spring, from zero heat to spicy, built around the brand's new All Intense, Not All Spicy campaign.
The newest additions to the Takis portfolio are made without artificial colors, reflecting the brand's continued commitment to intentional innovation and ingredient transparency without compromising the taste and intensity consumers expect, the company says. These new flavors represent an important step in Takis' broader, phased approach to removing artificial colors across its portfolio by the end of 2026.
The new flavors launching spring 2026 are available in 3.25-oz and 9.9-oz sizes. According to the company, they include:
- Xtreme Lime: Bright and electrifying citrus-forward flavor delivering an intense lime punch that dials up tangy flavor to the extreme, the brand says. Heat-o-meter level: Zero heat.
- Smokin' BBQ: Grill-inspired smoky barbecue flavor reportedly layered with rich, savory depth, and subtle sweetness. Heat-o-meter level: Mild.
- Jalapeño: Classic green pepper profile with a smooth, savory kick and jalapeño flavor for an everyday intensity that builds without overpowering. Intensity level: Hot.
- Pickle Punch: Sharp, briny blast of dill pickle flavor meets acidity and a tang that delivers an in-your-face pickle experience, the brand notes. Heat-o-meter level: Medium.
- Crazy Buffalo: Available exclusively at Kroger, a fiery fusion of tangy buffalo sauce flavor with creamy notes and lingering heat. Heat-o-meter level: Medium.
- Hot Honey: Available exclusively at Walmart, a balance of sweet honey and rising heat delivers the ultimate swicy experience, where smooth sweetness hits first before building into a lingering sweet-heat payoff, Takis says. Heat-o-meter level: Hot.
"These All Intense, Not All Spicy flavors show that intensity isn't one-dimensional," says Sandra Kirkpatrick, senior director of marketing at Takis. "From zero heat to hot, this new lineup allows us to reach consumers and delivers craveable flavors for every taste preference—giving snackers more ways to experience Takis snacks in a way that matches their intensity.
The expanded Takis flavor lineup began rolling out at retailers nationwide on February 9, with select flavors available exclusively at participating retailers for a limited time.
