Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (5755) or the full path ("Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Cooking & Baking Ingredients > Dough > Bread & Pastry Dough"). 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.
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.
In your feed, it looks like this
Either row below is accepted. The first is the one to send.
| id | title | google_product_category |
|---|---|---|
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | 5755 |
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | "Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Cooking & Baking Ingredients > Dough > Bread & Pastry Dough" |
This path contains a comma, so the cell has to be quoted: unquoted, a CSV reader splits "Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Cooking & Baking Ingredients > Dough > Bread & Pastry Dough" into 2 columns and the row stops lining up with its header. The numeric ID, 5755, contains no comma.
Questions about Bread & Pastry Dough
What is the Google product category ID for Bread & Pastry Dough?
5755. The full path, "Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Cooking & Baking Ingredients > Dough > Bread & Pastry Dough", 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.
Is anything more specific than Bread & Pastry Dough available?

Where does Bread & Pastry Dough sit in the taxonomy?
At level 5, under Dough (5752). The chain from the top is Food, Beverages & Tobacco → Food Items → Cooking & Baking Ingredients → Dough → Bread & Pastry Dough. If your product does not belong under Dough, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Bread & Pastry Dough is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Dough first — there are 2 other categories at this level: Cookie & Brownie Dough (5756), Pie Crusts (5753). If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Dough (5752) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
How big is Bread & Pastry Dough compared with the categories next to it?
