A guard for preventing the operator's fingers from contacting the sharp edges of a parallel rack of blades in a food slicer, such as a tomato slicer is provided by a set of parallel planar segments intermeshed between and extending slightly in front of the sharp edges of the blades when the pusher is deployed away from the blades in position for introducing the object (tomato) to be sliced between the pusher and blades. A latch, such as a gravity latch, holds the assembly in the open guarded position until the tomato is introduced and the latch is released. In a rotary slicer a small portion of the blades adjacent the pusher are unguarded to facilitate introduction and prescoring of the tomato.
