WooCommerce remove product category pragmatically

Is there a way of removing a WooCommerce product from a certain category after 30 days?

So when I add a new product, I check the 'whats-new' category. Then after 30 days, I would like that to automatically be removed from that category, as it's no longer new.

I have a bit of code that can assess how old the product is, but then I don't really know how to work the rest.... and do i add this in my 'content-product.php'?

<?php $product = wc_get_product(get_the_ID());

$newness_days = 30;
    $created = strtotime( $product->get_date_created() );
    if ( ( time() - ( 60 * 60 * 24 * $newness_days ) ) < $created ) {

    // if is new do nothing

   } else {

   // it's old, remove 'whats-new' category

} ?>

Thanks
