Food Wraps
The Google product category ID for Food Wraps is 3110. It sits under Food Storage and has 4 subcategories of its own, so it is a predefined value you can send as it stands — but one of those 4 is usually the closer answer, and an interior category fits when a product genuinely spans the ones below.

Where this sits in the taxonomy
Measured by how much sits beneath them, Food Wraps is the largest of the 8 categories under Food Storage, with 4 categories below it.

Food WrapsFoil
The longest route down from here runs 1 more level, ending at Foil (1496) on level 5: Food Wraps › Foil. Most branches stop sooner than that — the figure to compare it against is the seven levels Google's taxonomy allows, not the depth of the branch next door.

Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (3110) or the full path ("Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Food Storage > Food Wraps"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone. Before sending it, check whether one of the 4 subcategories below fits — a narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things.
Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.

Either row below is accepted. The first is the one to send.
| id | title | google_product_category |

This path has no comma, so an unquoted cell holds it as it stands — which is not true of every category in the taxonomy. The numeric ID, 3110, is the form that does not depend on how the file is quoted.

These sit under the same parent and start with the same word, which is exactly when the wrong one gets picked.
Questions about Food Wraps
What is the Google product category ID for Food Wraps?
3110. The full path, "Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Food Storage > Food Wraps", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.
Should I use Food Wraps or one of its subcategories?
Prefer a subcategory when one fits: Food Wraps has 4 directly below it, starting with Foil (1496), Parchment Paper (5642), Plastic Wrap (3750), and 4 in total further down. 3110 is itself a predefined value, so an interior category is not an error — it just groups the product more broadly than a subcategory would.
Where does Food Wraps sit in the taxonomy?
At level 4, under Food Storage (2626). The chain from the top is Home & Garden → Kitchen & Dining → Food Storage → Food Wraps. If your product does not belong under Food Storage, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Food Wraps is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Food Storage first — there are 7 other categories at this level: Bread Boxes & Bags (3337), Candy Buckets (6534), Cookie Jars (2644), Food Container Covers (6481), Food Storage Bags (3591), Food Storage Containers (667), and 1 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Food Storage (2626) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How much more specific can I get than Food Wraps?
1 level more. The longest route down from Food Wraps is Food Wraps > Foil, ending at Foil (1496) on level 5. Not every branch below Food Wraps runs that far, so the category that fits your product may stop earlier than this one does.
How big is Food Wraps compared with the categories next to it?
It is the largest of the 8 at its level, carrying 4 categories below it. A bigger category is not a better one — it just means more of the taxonomy is still open below you after you pick it.
What is the difference between Food Wraps and Food Container Covers?
They sit side by side under Food Storage and start with the same word, which is why they get swapped. Food Wraps is 3110; Food Container Covers is 6481. The paths are the reliable way to tell them apart — compare "Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Food Storage > Food Wraps" with "Home & Garden > Kitchen & Dining > Food Storage > Food Container Covers" before you submit.
