Deep smoky barbecue, sweet more than spicy.

Takis Smokin' BBQ is the one for people who want the Takis crunch without the chilli heat. The seasoning leads with a deep, woody smokiness, like something off a slow cooked grill, before settling into sweet caramel notes from the smoked glucose syrup in the mix. There's a mild warmth right at the finish, nothing that lingers or builds into anything serious.
It sits at a completely different part of the range from Fuego, savoury and satisfying. Iceland and Ocado both carry it in the UK, so you don't need to hunt down an import specialist to try it.

Nothing animal-derived shows up in the listed ingredients, though it isn't formally vegan-certified. Two of the flavour enhancers, E631 (disodium inosinate) and E627 (disodium guanylate), can come from fish, meat, or fermentation, and Barcel hasn't confirmed which for this flavour, the same uncertainty our halal guide flags for these additives elsewhere in the range.
The colours are more straightforward: beetroot concentrate and paprika extract are both plant based, so there's no carmine to check for.
The allergen advisory covers soya, milk, and cereals containing gluten as a 'may contain' risk from shared production lines rather than a direct ingredient. If you have coeliac disease, Coeliac UK can advise on products with this warning. Halal certification: none, as with every other Takis flavour.

Takis Smokin' BBQ is stocked at Iceland and Ocado in the UK, and isn't yet carried by the other major supermarkets. Iceland has it in branch and on iceland.co.uk, while Ocado delivers it alongside the rest of your shop. Both list the 180g bag at around £3.00, which works out to roughly £1.67 per 100g, in line with other 180g Takis bags across the range.
Amazon sometimes has it too through third party sellers, though stock there is less consistent than going direct to Iceland or Ocado.
The only savoury, non chilli flavour in the standard UK range. Mild (2/5), a step below Dragon Sweet Chilli (Hot), though the direction is nothing alike: woodsmoke and caramel instead of sweet chilli heat. Against Intense Nacho (No Heat), there's more depth here and a trace of warmth Nacho doesn't have.
If Smokin' BBQ isn't on the shelf at your local store, the retailers below may have it online – stock varies, so try more than one.
Iceland and Ocado both carry it in the UK, in branch at Iceland or delivered through either website. It isn't yet stocked at the other major supermarkets.
Yes, nothing animal-derived shows up in the UK ingredients. The open question is two flavour enhancers in the seasoning, E631 and E627, which can come from fish, meat, or fermentation. Barcel hasn't confirmed which for this flavour, so if you're strict about it, those are the two to ask about. See our complete UK vegan guide for full details on every flavour.
Mild, level 2 of 5. There's a faint warmth right at the finish, but it's a background note on a mostly savoury flavour, nothing anyone with a low spice tolerance needs to worry about.
Around £3.00 for a 180g bag at both Iceland and Ocado, in line with other 180g Takis bags across the range. Store level pricing and promotions can vary slightly.
No. The UK allergen advisory flags soya, milk, and cereals containing gluten as a 'may contain' risk from shared production lines. If you have coeliac disease, Coeliac UK can advise on products with this warning. No Takis flavour, UK or import, carries a certified gluten-free label. See our Takis gluten-free guide for more.
