Quick Answer
May contain controversial artificial colors and flavor carriers.
Detailed Explanation
What is it?
A brand of spicy, rolled corn tortilla chips popular in North America.
Why it may be doubtful
Takis Fuego do not contain obvious meat products, but they use a complex blend of artificial flavors and colors. The primary concern for Muslims is the source of "Natural and Artificial Flavors." Sometimes, dairy derivatives or enzymes are used in the flavor powders. Additionally, they use Red 40 and Yellow 6, which are synthetic and halal, but cross-contamination in factories making cheese-flavored snacks is a minor risk. The manufacturer does not claim halal certification in the US.
Fiqh considerations
Without clear haram ingredients, they are technically presumed permissible by some, but doubtful (Mashbooh) by those who require verification of the origin of every flavor chemical.
Practical advice
Many Muslims consume them, but if you want to be strictly certain, you may want to avoid them until the manufacturer provides a clear breakdown of the flavor sources.
