American cheese isn’t a bad thing when it’s the amalgam of several other cheeses. When it’s just oil and binders it isn’t even cheese though. There’s no good way to know before buying it since they can call both cheese.

They cannot call both cheese, cheese is labelled as cheese and American cheese is labelled as “pasteurized process cheese product”

No, there is American cheese that is actual cheese, not just processed dairy product. Of course you won’t find someone like Kraft making it.

Do they not show the list of ingredients?

On the package? Yes.
At a restaurant? Not usually.

American cheese is a travesty, but with that said, most American cheese I’ve had has been eating Kraft singles as a kid… so I may just be biased
