Takis Blue Heat rolled corn chips

Takis are a popular brand of rolled corn tortilla chips known for their intense flavors and heat levels, with the 'Blue Heat' variety being famous for its vibrant blue color and spicy chili pepper and lime seasoning. The brand was first introduced in Mexico in 1999 and was inspired by the traditional Mexican taquito.

Today, Takis is an international sensation, particularly popular among younger consumers in North America and Europe. The product is manufactured primarily in Mexico by Barcel, though increased global demand has led to production facilities being established in Spain (to serve the European market) and the United States.

Takis is owned by Barcel, which is a subsidiary of Grupo Bimbo, one of the largest baking and snack food companies in the world. Based in Mexico City, Grupo Bimbo manages an extensive portfolio of international snack and bakery brands, maintaining a global presence while keeping its corporate roots firmly in Mexico.
