Abstract: A cutting device of an apparatus for comminuting food products has two cutting rings located concentrically to one another and rotatable relative to one another about a common axis, so that an annular slot is bounded therebetween. The cutting rings have a plurality of axially extending teeth formed between axially extending slots, and the teeth of at least one cutting ring carry cutting members of hard alloy. Each of the cutting members of this one cutting disc completely overlaps a front surface of a respective one of the teeth and has two axially extending edges facing toward the annular slot between the cutting rings. One of these edges is a cutting edge, whereas the other of these edges forms, together with the cutting edge of a circumferentially adjacent tooth, a cutting gap.
