BaconMockup vs Open Food Facts
BaconMockup generates resizable JPEG placeholder images of bacon (and other meats) sized via URL path segments like /300/200, aimed at web-design mockups that want food-themed filler art instead of generic gray boxes. A live GET against the real host, baconmockup.com, returned a genuine JPEG with no Access-Control-Allow-Origin header on either a plain GET or an OPTIONS preflight, resolving cors yes -> no; no key is required, reconfirming auth None.
Open Food Facts is a crowdsourced, open database of food products worldwide, covering ingredients, nutrition facts, allergens, and Nutri-Score/Eco-Score ratings, with full bulk exports available alongside the live API. A live GET against the real gateway, world.openfoodfacts.org, returned a genuine product record while carrying Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *, resolving cors unknown -> yes; auth None was reconfirmed by the same keyless 200.
