Fresh & Frozen Vegetables
The Google product category ID for Fresh & Frozen Vegetables is 5793. It sits under Fruits & Vegetables and has 58 subcategories of its own, so it is a predefined value you can send as it stands — but one of those 58 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, Fresh & Frozen Vegetables is the largest of the 9 categories under Fruits & Vegetables, with 70 categories below it.

Fresh & Frozen VegetablesGreensArugula
The longest route down from here runs 2 more levels, ending at Arugula (6569) on level 6: Fresh & Frozen Vegetables › Greens › Arugula. 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 (5793) or the full path ("Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Fruits & Vegetables > Fresh & Frozen Vegetables"). 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 58 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.
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 | 5793 |
| SKU-1001 | Your product title | "Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Fruits & Vegetables > Fresh & Frozen Vegetables" |
This path contains a comma, so the cell has to be quoted: unquoted, a CSV reader splits "Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Fruits & Vegetables > Fresh & Frozen Vegetables" into 2 columns and the row stops lining up with its header. The numeric ID, 5793, contains no comma.
What sits under Fresh & Frozen Vegetables
58 subcategories. A narrower category groups the product with fewer, closer things, so prefer one of these when it fits.
They are not the same size. Greens (6622) is the largest with 12 categories beneath it, so most of what sits under Fresh & Frozen Vegetables sits under that one name. 1 of the 58 carry subcategories of their own and the remaining 57 are leaves, which is worth knowing before you go looking for a narrower value that is not there.

Questions about Fresh & Frozen Vegetables
What is the Google product category ID for Fresh & Frozen Vegetables?
5793. The full path, "Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Fruits & Vegetables > Fresh & Frozen Vegetables", 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 Fresh & Frozen Vegetables or one of its subcategories?
Prefer a subcategory when one fits: Fresh & Frozen Vegetables has 58 directly below it, starting with Arracachas (6716), Artichokes (6570), Asparagus (6568), and 70 in total further down. 5793 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 Fresh & Frozen Vegetables sit in the taxonomy?
At level 4, under Fruits & Vegetables (430). The chain from the top is Food, Beverages & Tobacco → Food Items → Fruits & Vegetables → Fresh & Frozen Vegetables. If your product does not belong under Fruits & Vegetables, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Fresh & Frozen Vegetables is not quite right?
Look across the rest of Fruits & Vegetables first — there are 8 other categories at this level: Canned & Jarred Fruits (5799), Canned & Jarred Vegetables (5798), Canned & Prepared Beans (5797), Dried Fruits (1755), Dried Vegetables (7387), Dry Beans (5796), and 2 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Fruits & Vegetables (430) 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 Fresh & Frozen Vegetables?
2 levels more. The longest route down from Fresh & Frozen Vegetables is Fresh & Frozen Vegetables > Greens > Arugula, ending at Arugula (6569) on level 6. Not every branch below Fresh & Frozen Vegetables runs that far, so the category that fits your product may stop earlier than this one does.
How big is Fresh & Frozen Vegetables compared with the categories next to it?
It is the largest of the 9 at its level, carrying 70 categories below it. Inside it, Greens (6622) is the biggest branch with 12 beneath 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 Fresh & Frozen Vegetables and Fresh & Frozen Fruits?
They sit side by side under Fruits & Vegetables and start with the same word, which is why they get swapped. Fresh & Frozen Vegetables is 5793; Fresh & Frozen Fruits is 5795. The paths are the reliable way to tell them apart — compare "Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Fruits & Vegetables > Fresh & Frozen Vegetables" with "Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Fruits & Vegetables > Fresh & Frozen Fruits" before you submit.
