I dont understand what is the discussion here. If I eat fruit by the foot in New York, I will still eat it when in Israel. Why would the product all of a sudden become treif while travelling over the atlantic??? So, yes, any product with an ou that I would eat in the USA, I would eat in Israel as well if I find it being sold in one of these amreicanised supermarkets. But if I would find a resaurant with an ou, I would definitely NOT eat in that resaurant, for the same reason i wouldnt eat if I would find a restaurant in Manhattan with an hashgacha of Badatz Rabbi Rubin for example. And why is that? Simple. When such a scenario happens, it should turn on an alarm, Why is the owner of this shop taking an ahsahgacha from an organisation based 6000 miles away, when he has an abundance of local hechsheirim to choose from???
