What Belongs Elsewhere
Products that do not fit here should be categorized in neighboring groups. Exclude items that are part of a gift package, as those belong in Food Gift Baskets. Products that are processed into items like dips, spreads, or chocolate-covered fruit must go into Dips & Spreads or Candied & Chocolate Covered Fruit respectively. If your inventory contains snack mixes that are primarily processed foods or cereal-based, check the Snack Foods or Grains, Rice & Cereal categories instead.
Categorization in Your Feed
Use the numeric ID 433 or the string "Food, Beverages & Tobacco > Food Items > Nuts & Seeds" in the google_product_category attribute. While this attribute is optional, providing it manually prevents Google from miscategorizing your products, ensuring better visibility in search results.
