Coppell, Texas-based Takis snacks has been named among the 2022 North American Breakthrough Innovation Award winners for its Takis Blue Heat snack.
NielsenIQ Bases sifted through thousands of product launches across personal care, diet, nutrition and food to identify winners who navigated a constant state of crisis in the consumer packaged goods market.
Launched in 2019, Takis Blue Heat rolled tortilla chips come in 4 and 9.9 ounce packages. In 2014, Takis snacks received the same award for the brand’s Fuego variety.
