A food slicing machine is provided which includes restraining apparatus operative to engage the sides of a food product ( 4 ) to be sliced to produce lateral location of the food product. The restraining apparatus comprises a moveable member ( 8 ) operative to push a food product to be sliced against a guide ( 10 ). The machine is arranged to cause gripping apparatus ( 5 ) to engage one end of the food product when the food product is pressed by the moveable member against the guide, after which the moveable member moves away from the food product and thereby releases the lateral pressure on the food product prior to slicing thereof.
