A mold plate assembly for a patty forming apparatus includes a mold plate (2 4) having patty forming cavities (24a) and a breather plate (34) arranged facing the mold plate. A fill slot (76) i s arranged facing the mold cavities (24a), on a side opposite the breather plate (34), to fill food product into said mold cavity (24a) wh en the mold plate (24) is in a filling position. The breather plate (34) includes first breather holes (100) at a remote position from the inlet slot (76) to discharge air to ensure an even and uniform filling of the food product into the cavity, and second breather holes (110) located close to the fill slot (76) to relieve filling pressure at that location to avoid the formation of a ridge on the finished formed fo od patty.
