A sealing member that includes an upstream first end and an opposite downstream second end. The upstream first end is located upstream of a feed member that supplies food product to the food forming member, and the downstream second end is located downstream of the feed member. The upstream first end includes a multitude of recesses and convexities. Food product that is transported by the food forming member towards the sealing member is guided toward or into product cavities defined in rows around the surface of the food forming member with the convexities and the recesses. Each of the recesses has a shape that generally corresponds to a shape of the product cavities, and each of the recesses are aligned with the product cavities extending in one of the rows. Each of the convexities are aligned with the surface of the food forming member located between the product cavities.
