Takis (made by Barcel, Mexico) are not halal-certified in any market. Most flavours contain E631 (disodium inosinate) and E627 (disodium guanylate) — flavour enhancers that can be derived from pork or meat sources. Some flavours avoid these additives. Without certification, all Takis should be treated as Mushbooh at best.

Thorntons (Ferrero) chocolates contain E476 (polyglycerol polyricinoleate) and dairy. No halal certification is held for UK products. Some Thorntons products — including liqueur chocolates — contain alcohol-based flavourings, making them haram. The standard chocolate assortments are Mushbooh due to E476 and uncertified dairy.

Tirol Choco (Japan) produces dozens of individually-wrapped chocolate varieties, some of which contain gelatine from an undisclosed source. No Tirol products carry halal certification. Without declared halal-slaughter gelatine or third-party certification, Tirol is Mushbooh for Muslim consumers.
