Our current regulations on products are the SAME as the rest of the EU. That will also be the same on day one of the [mythical] Brexit. Surely there are no issues until we start changing them. Even then the changes will be known well in advance of being applied, not be major changes, and will affect a limited ranges of products.

It's possible our standards would be higher. Eg many years ago there was an issue with French UHT milk. UK producers were held to higher standards, which the French didn't meet. The UK tried to block imports of the sub-standard French UHT milk, but the EU said we couldn't.

As long as any product brought into or made in the UK has CE(ie EU) certification, there shouldn't be an issue at all.
