I have no idea what the case is here, but if you look at the picture in this article, Takis are among the goods seized. They seem to look like the ones sold everywhere in shops, but the article says this:
Illegal sweets, cereal, snacks and drinks that were on sale at an American-style candy store on Oxford Street are due to be incinerated because they contain potentially harmful ingredients banned in the UK.
It's possible that the ones seized may be like the ones you know from Mexico.
My disappointment in the new Takis is immeasurable. Unsure how long since they changed the formula, or if it’s a special export style, but it’s not nearly as hot as the originals in Mexico.
