Using this value

Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (6566) or the full path ("Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Fruits & Vegetables > Fresh & Frozen Fruits > Apples"). 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.

products.csv3 of your columns

SKU-1001	Your product title	"Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Fruits & Vegetables > Fresh & Frozen Fruits > Apples"

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 Fruits > Apples" into 2 columns and the row stops lining up with its header. The numeric ID, 6566, contains no comma.

Questions about Apples

What is the Google product category ID for Apples?

6566. The full path, "Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Fruits & Vegetables > Fresh & Frozen Fruits > Apples", 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 Apples available?

No. Apples is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 5, so 6566 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 Apples sit in the taxonomy?

At level 5, under Fresh & Frozen Fruits (5795). The chain from the top is Food, Beverages & Tobacco → Food Items → Fruits & Vegetables → Fresh & Frozen Fruits → Apples. If your product does not belong under Fresh & Frozen Fruits, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.

What should I use if Apples is not quite right?

Look across the rest of Fresh & Frozen Fruits first — there are 42 other categories at this level: Atemoyas (6571), Avocados (6572), Babacos (6573), Bananas (6574), Berries (6582), Breadfruit (6589), and 36 more. If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Fresh & Frozen Fruits (5795) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.

How big is Apples compared with the categories next to it?

It is third largest of the 43 at its level, carrying 0 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.
