Using this value

Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (5778) or the full path ("Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Cooking & Baking Ingredients > Waffle & Pancake Mixes"). 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.

SKU-1001	Your product title	"Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Cooking & Baking Ingredients > Waffle & Pancake Mixes"

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 > Waffle & Pancake Mixes" into 2 columns and the row stops lining up with its header. The numeric ID, 5778, contains no comma.

Questions about Waffle & Pancake Mixes

What is the Google product category ID for Waffle & Pancake Mixes?

5778. The full path, "Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Cooking & Baking Ingredients > Waffle & Pancake Mixes", 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 Waffle & Pancake Mixes available?

No. Waffle & Pancake Mixes is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 4, so 5778 is the most precise value this branch offers. If it does not describe your product closely enough, the answer is a different branch, not a deeper one.

Where does Waffle & Pancake Mixes sit in the taxonomy?

At level 4, under Cooking & Baking Ingredients (2660). The chain from the top is Food, Beverages & Tobacco → Food Items → Cooking & Baking Ingredients → Waffle & Pancake Mixes. If your product does not belong under Cooking & Baking Ingredients, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.

What should I use if Waffle & Pancake Mixes is not quite right?

If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Cooking & Baking Ingredients (2660) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.

How big is Waffle & Pancake Mixes compared with the categories next to it?
