Bally Jute Mills in association with Indian Jute Industries  Research Association was the first to develop and successfully implement the commercial production of Hydrocarbon Free jute bags and cloth by using Rice Bran Oil II (RBO II) as a substitute to Jute Batching Oil (JBO) in the jute industry. Earlier it was found that jute bags (used in cocoa packaging) manufactured through JBO process led to hydrocarbon contamination in the food stuff. With RBO process jute bags have been declared safe for packaging of food products like cocoa, coffee, peanuts, hazelnuts, rice and other grains. The use of RBO has also been approved by the IOCCC.
