I used to do that job but in a sweet factory
Sometimes bags or boxes aren’t properly sealed, among other things. I suppose the robots haven’t quite reached the point where they can tell, but when a person picks up a bag like that it’s pretty obvious right away.
Also, pick and place machines are really expensive. Some food factories do use them, but humans are still cheaper.

I did a job at a sandwich factory many years ago during the summer
I had the job of sprinkling a teaspoon of frozen parsley over the salad ready meals. I've no idea to this day why a human was required to do that job.

I did that for a few years, but it wasn't worth it because I was having my wages garnished
