APPARATUS FOR SLICING FOOD PIECES ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE Apparatus for slicing a food piece includes at least one stationary feeding channel for serially feeding food pieces. The feeding channel has a feed outlet through which food pieces pass prior to slicing thereof. At least one moving slicing assembly including a first planar support surface on which the food piece exiting the feed outlet rests prior to a slice being cut is provided, the first support surface being disposed at a distance below the feed outlet about equal to the desired slice thickness. The fixed slicing blade is maintained at a set distance from the first support surface and adjacent to the feed outlet to sever a slice from the food piece, the distance between the first support surface and the slicing blade defining a slice exit through which individual slices exit the slicing assembly. A blade holder is provided having a second planar support surface contingent to the slicing blade and extending in an opposing direction from the first support surface, on which the food piece rests while a slice is being cut. The slicing assembly further includes a slice-throwing surface for throwing slices away from the slice exit during movement of the slicing assembly past the feed outlet.
