A two-piece device for use in holding and guiding items of food, particularly small items, into position for slicing or other processing by the cutting blades of a food processor comprises a holder including an elongate food-holding member for pressing pieces of food against an inner surface of the feed chute of the food processor, and an elongate pusher having a food-engaging end, for controlling and pushing pieces of food along the holder toward the rotary blades of the food processor. A guide plate, to which the food holding element of the holder is connected, orients the food holding element and covers a portion of the feed chute. A gauge plate connected with the pusher prevents insertion of the pusher into the feed chute beyond a safe depth, and covers the remainder of the opening of the feed chute when fully inserted therein.
