A shuffle feed structure for feeding articles which require trimming of the ends, in which the article advancing faces of the shuffle members include a series of wedge-shaped surfaces for feeding and orienting the articles (such as pickles) so that each article rests against one of the inclined faces of the shuffle feed member and abuts the end face of one of the wedges. During the last step of movement of the shuffle feed the articles are carried through a pair of trimming knives which cut off the ends of the pickle so that the middle segment of each pickle is cut to a uniform length.
