A slicing machine has a blade having an edge, and a carriage adapted to carry a foodstuff to be sliced and displaceable past the blade edge in forward and reverse directions. A reversible drive on the support is connected to the carriage for displacing it in both directions. A sensor on the support generates an output when the foodstuff on the carriage is generally engaged by the blade edge. A controller connected between the sensor and the drive serves, on forward displacement of the carriage and foodstuff thereon, to forwardly displace the carriage and foodstuff thereon by the drive on generation of the output and subsequently, when the sensor means stops generating the output, displaces the carriage and the foodstuff thereon in the reverse direction by the drive.
