What happens to all the ones you're throwing away?
They all go into rework where they're used for the fillings for the wafers.
What's the filling for the wafer?
Well, as you can see here, we have a wafer...
Oh, in between the wafers?
Yes, that's right.
I saw that put on.
Right, OK.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, OK, brilliant.
Brilliant.
Right, good.
It is incredible how many chocolate bars are being produced here
with so few people.
As high-tech as all this seems,
they've actually been making chocolate here for over 100 years.
But back then, the factory floor would have looked very, very different.
In the shadow of the modern factory
is a monument to chocolate-making past.
This is the old Roundtree's factory in York.
It was acquired by Nestlé in the late 1980s
and there was so much rich history
that they appointed a dedicated Roundtree historian, Alex Hutchinson,
to preserve its significant past.
I've been given access to the old site and its archives
to discover just why it's so special.
In comparison to other factories at the time,
was this a good one, a bad one?
This was a good one. This was a very good one.
Everybody wanted to work for Roundtree.
Very good pensions.
If you were ill, there was a doctor.
If you needed a dentist, you could see a dentist.
And they would look after you.
They would look after you very, very well indeed.
The Roundtrees were Quakers,
a religious society formed in England in the 17th century.
The highly moral Quaker grocers
were trusted to produce unadulterated chocolate.
And so a handful of these Quaker families
became the top chocolate makers in Britain.
Birmingham had Cadbury's,
Bristol had Fry's
and York had Roundtree's.
The Roundtree family are Quaker.
Do you think that made a difference to how they did business?
Very much so.
They wanted to treat their workers like they were part of their family.
They didn't want to view them as cogs in a machine.
To improve their workers' lives,
the Roundtree family designed a factory
that was bright and airy and chock full of perks.
You've got your theatre, library, ballroom, sports ground
and of course there's sick pay, paid holiday.
The wage packet was quite healthy too.
The welfare pioneered in the chocolate factories
was soon adopted across Britain.
While the founding members of the Roundtree family may have passed on,
the community they created lasted for generations.
But by the late 1980s,
consumer demand for cheaper chocolate
saw the beginning of the end for the old ways.
The more labour intensive parts of the production lines
were replaced with mechanised systems and machines
capable of churning out chocolates by the millions.
The way we make chocolate may well have changed
but the legacy of those early chocolate makers lives on.
Here at Nestlé, we're 21 hours into the chocolate making process
and we've already got millions of chocolate bars ready to be eaten.
But before that can happen, they need packing up.
In this factory, 3.5 million of these chocolate bars
need to be individually wrapped every day.
First it's the foil and then the paper.
27 feet are used every second.
Then they're bundled into multi-packs.
Ex-army man Scott Robinson gives the bars one last inspection
before they're packed into boxes with military precision.
And with all this machinery, are we packing them by hand?
Because we can actually get a better quality finish.
People can see anything that's gone wrong.
Machines can go, you can have sensors,
but they won't feel or see things that are not right.
Can I have a go? Yep, feel free.
Come on, down you come.
Hey, get over there, lovely.
Like that, like that.
Quick, quick, push it through there.
That's it, nice and gently, make sure it's square.
