Registering fields via PHP: Location rules for post category?

I’m trying to register a field group via PHP, but I’m stuck with setting the location rules. I’ve couldn’t find this in the documentation.

Basically, I want to set this location rule via PHP:

This is my code thus far, which is not working:

if( function_exists('acf_add_local_field_group') ):

	acf_add_local_field_group(array(
		'key' => 'group_' . uniqid(),
		'title' => 'Product Information Tabs',
		'fields' => array (
			array (
				'key' => 'field_tab_' . uniqid(),
				'label' => 'Tab title',
				'name' => 'tab_test',
				'type' => 'wysiwyg',

			)
		),
		'location' => array (
			array (
				array (
					'param' => 'post_taxonomy',
					'operator' => '==',
					'value' => 'product_cat(cat-food)' ,
				),
			),
		),
	));
	
	endif;

The category slug for the “Cat food” category is cat-food.

What am I doing wrong?
