As a general rule, labeling requirements and enforcement tend to be more stringent in larger countries (based on population) than in smaller countries.

False

Explanation:

The answer is false because the real sentece is "As a general rule, labeling requirements and enforcement tends to be more stringent in economically developed countries than in economically developing countries".

The real sentence means that a country that has more money than another country is more strict in labeling requirement, not a country that has more people than another.
