Corruption will theoretically be a problem, though I’m not sure how much in practice it will affect enforcement of trans fat bans specifically. In general, I would be more concerned about the lack of state capacity (i.e. even if governments made an honest effort, they just don’t have the resources to detect and punish transgressors).
My intention is to develop our modelling further in the intermediate research stage, to look at the chances of enforcement failure—you’re right that what’s achieved in the rich world is but an imperfect indication of what will happen when a law is tried in LMICs.
