I've only seen it in the USA. When we're in the States, I look at the ingredients of everything that could possibly contain it, and leave everything on the shelf that does.

Bread definitely tastes better here, too. It doesn't stay fresh as long, but that's because the bread here isn't full of chemicals that enable that. It's a price we gladly pay for unpoisoned bread.
