Chomp
Chomp indexes nutrition labels, ingredients, allergens, and diet-compatibility flags for over 500,000 branded grocery products and raw foods, billed per request through a registered API key with a short free trial before metered billing starts. A live GET against the real gateway, chompthis.com/api/v2, returned a genuine 401 Unauthorized JSON error while carrying Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, resolving cors unknown -> yes and reconfirming API Key auth in the same probe.
