A literature review of contaminants; cadmium, methylmercury, dioxins, and PCB, for eleven different fish species (Greenland halibut, gilt headed bream, sea bass, wolffish, hoki, ocean perch, angler, Nile perch, pangasius, red snapper and tilapia) that were selected in concurrence with the National Food Administration. The result can be used by the National Food Administration to gain further knowledge about the different fish species to be able to continue to give advice to varied risk category and the public. The gilt headed bream and sea bass were the only fishes whose values for mercury exceeded the limit of 0,5 mg/kg (EU Reg. 1881/2006). In the angler, Nile perch and pangasius the mean value of mercury didn?t exceed the limit, however in some individuals the mercury content did exceed what is allowed.

Food-poisoning is a major health problem and an estimated half a million Swedes are food-poisoned annually, with acute gastroenteritis as a consequence. One of the major causes of contaminated foods is related to food- and waterborne viruses. To be able to trace back the source of contaminant, the method of detecting viruses must be specific and sensitive. No standardized method for detecting foods for sapovirus exists today. The aim of the work described in this bachelor thesis is to implement and opti-mize a real-time RT-PCR method for the detection of all genogroups of human sapovirus in foods.

Problem: En allt mer föränderlig bransch, karakteriserat av internationella aktörer och stärkt handelsled har resulterat i att varumärket har fått utökad strategisk betydelse. Vi vill utifrån denna bakgrund besvara tre frågor:Hur påverkar de enskilda varumärkenas styrka portföljens slagkraftighet? Hur driver Procordia Food sin varumärkesportfölj på strategisk nivå? Kan denna portfölj optimeras? Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att identifiera de enskilda varumärkenas påverkan på varumärkesportföljen samt att bidra till ökad förståelse för portföljens betydelse för företaget och i förhållande till dess omvärld. Detta vill vi göra genom att analysera hur ett konsumentvaruföretag, i detta fall Procordia Food, driver dess varumärkesportfölj på en strategisk nivå. Metod: Vi har valt att använda fallstudien som metod.
