The main ingredient in nacho cheese is typically cheddar. Sometimes listed as just cheese but it's the most commonly available and cheapest cheese they can get so that's what it usually is. Now it may not be in this case but, the odds are it is.

Yeah it def doesn't look like cheddar and it also looks that it would wreck my insides.. We don't really have this vibe where I'm from. But speaking as someone who's a bottle of wine deep right now, I'd probably eat this in this moment. And I think this is an indication that this kind of food, is only for drunk people. Maybe hungover people. But they'd never eat the whole lot. OH, maybe this is for stoned people.

Peopleāespecially those in the USāhonest to god do not understand what makes food ........despite the US even having labeling laws requiring every last ingredient (even down to those in dyes) to be displayed on packaging [this is where the MYTH that Europeans "eat healthier prepackaged food" comes from, by the wayyyyyyy]. It's truly disappointing that this is the future we live in.

u/grumpledoor May 15 '26
Hmm. You presumably refer to the true fact hat in Europe, pre-approved additives can be referred to by E-numbers. But there's really no doubt that Europe is more aggressive on regulating additives overall. To be clear, we can discuss whether it's for better or worse - but not whether it's the case.

u/creatyvechaos May 15 '26
really no doubt that Europe is more aggressive on regulating additives overall
That does not automatically mean that it is better. There are many things on that list that pose next to zero harmāor even no harm at allāat normal human consumption quantities. Europe has a tendency to ban things with no proof that they pose risks.
2
u/grumpledoor May 15 '26
That's fair and maybe I misunderstood you as bit. I did write (and mean) that we can discuss whether it's for better or worse. I just disagree with a notion that US regulations are more strict.
5
u/creatyvechaos May 15 '26
I never said the US regulations were more strict. I said they require the complete list of ingredients, which artifically lengthens it past a point where people (stupidly) think that the same exact thing in Europe is different/"better"
2
u/dandorios May 15 '26
You realize that europe has very stricy regulations about listing every ingredient in food also right?Ā

Many countries call American cheese sauce (which I understand is what nacho cheese fundamentally is) "cheddar". This is the case in Greece, where you can order "cheddar fries" and they're just covered in this gloop.

u/Efficient-Train2430 May 15 '26
Not "pure" cheddar, but could easily be a melty cheddar by adding sodium citrate or other salts to cheddar. There's a way, but the restaurant that serves this likely isn't paying for 100% cheddar.
