A food slicing machine is provided which is particularly suitable for slicing food products such as bacon, cheese or cooked meats. The machine has a slicing blade ( 1 ), and advancing apparatus ( 5, 6 ) operable to engage one end ( 13 ) of a food product ( 4 ) to be sliced and, on an advancing stroke, push the food product towards the slicing blade for slicing of the other end of the product. The machine includes a sensor ( 1 ) operative to produce a sensing signal representative of the position of said one end ( 13 ) of the product prior to engagement thereof by the advancing apparatus, and control circuitry for controlling the extent of a return stroke by the advancing apparatus in dependence upon the sensing signal.
