About Frozen Desserts & Novelties
The Frozen Desserts & Novelties category, identified by ID 5788, represents the specific Google product taxonomy path: Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Frozen Desserts & Novelties. This category is designed for refrigerated treats intended to be served frozen.
What belongs in this category
This category covers a wide variety of cold treats, including dairy-based and non-dairy alternatives. Examples from the US market include:

What does not belong here
Do not include items that fall under other Food Items categories. For instance, dry cake mixes or baking ingredients belong in Cooking & Baking Ingredients. Chocolate bars or loose candies sold at room temperature should be placed in Candy & Chocolate. Prepared meals that are not strictly dessert should be categorized under Prepared Foods.
Choosing subcategories
Always aim for precision by selecting the most specific subcategory available, such as Ice Pops, Ice Cream Novelties, or Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt, rather than using the generic parent category.
Feed implementation
In your feed, use the attribute google_product_category with the value 5788 or Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Frozen Desserts & Novelties. While optional, providing this value helps ensure accurate categorization, as automated assignments can sometimes be too general for niche food products.
