Various systems and methods for the production of formed foodstuff are provided. In one example, a method for producing formed foodstuff comprises filling n-successively circulating molds with a foodstuff mass with a conveying device, wherein, during a first filling period the conveying device is controlled in a first filling mode such that a predetermined portion of a filling volume of a mold is filled, and subsequently, during a second filling period, a remaining portion of the filling volume of the mold is filled in a second filling mode in which the conveying device is controlled in response to a filling pressure such that a predetermined filling pressure is set in the mold.
