There must not be much overlap in the countries we’ve visited then, because I’ve never seen this personally; one of the things I was glad for when I returned to the UK after while backpacking through Europe was being able to buy cheddar cheese in supermarkets again — it was non-existent in all the European shops I’d visited, and we usually settled for Edam or Gouda
Edit: I reread my comment and I realised it sounded super passive aggressive and that wasn’t at all my intention. My sample size of European countries is 5, which is far from representative for Europe, let alone the world
It’s used in hamburgers all over the world basically and you can purchase it in most supermarkets. In my experience, at least.
I’ve seen it in at least Japan, Spain, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Hungary, Argentina and Brazil. It’s also always labeled “cheddar” instead of “american”.
I’ve had cheddar, and I’ve had American. These are two very different things. If I ask for cheddar, and you give me American, I’m going to be very unhappy.
I don’t think it’s any less healthy than ordinary pizza. Just tastes like trash.
Cheddar has more calories and fat than mozzarella. It’s also more processed and has more additives.
That doesn’t look like any cheddar I’ve ever seen
“american” cheese is called cheddar in pretty much everywhere I’ve been around the globe.

That ain’t cheddar. It’s American.
As I already said, “american” cheese is called cheddar pretty much everywhere.
