Why can't you just change the viewmodel something like this

 public class MyProduct
    {   
        public int ProductId { get; set; }
        public string Title { get; set; }
        public virtual ICollection<Category> CategoryList { get; set; }
    }

and view

@model IEnumerable<ProductsCode.Models.MyProduct>
<h2>Index</h2>
<table>
    <tr>
        <th>Product</th>
        @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.ProductId) 
        <th>Categories for Product</th>
    </tr>

@foreach (var item in Model.CategoryList) {
    <tr>
        <td>
            @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.Title)
        </td>
        <td>
            @Html.DisplayFor(modelItem => item.CategoryId)
        </td>
    </tr>
}
</table>
