Is the word produtos the same in Brazilian and European Portuguese?

Yes.

The word "produtos" is identical in meaning, spelling, and grammar in both Brazilian and Continental Portuguese. The only differences are phonetic. In Brazilian Portuguese, the vowels are generally more open, and the "d" and "t" consonants are often palatalized (sounding like "dj" and "tch" in many regions). In Continental Portuguese, the vowels are more "closed" or reduced, and the consonants are pronounced with a strictly dental position.
