Sorry Sphinx I haven't had chance to really study the RNS's. As you say, it can all be in the wording - good or bad.
Example: 'More than 90 regional consumer healthcare brands have now been launched by direct customers of DSM, and a number of further regional brands have been launched through DSM's distributor channels.' What they don't say is that many of these launches didn't hold up and the products and/or companies have fallen by the wayside.
I also note that PXS appear to be paying out a sales rebate against FF+O sales (assume this is only to H&B).
They mention it a couple of times in the Trading Update.
'An increase in revenue net of sales rebates from the Company's Fruitflow+ Omega-3 business, including Holland & Barrett, the Company's website www.fruitflowplus.com and Amazon UK. This business grew by 34% to £98k, net of sales rebates, in the year (2018: £73k).'
Not sure if Gixer can find out more on the Qin Drink relaunch and whether or not it really does contain FF. The original Govt Docs have expired too. But this is the translation I made at the time. The following does not directly relate to the new launch but is old information posted on here around Sept 2017.
1, Project Overview The project construction unit for JuneYao food (Quzhou) Co., Ltd. (39 Braun Road Quzhou green industry cluster number, see Annex 3) in the open The Zhejiang Sheng Investment Group Co., Ltd. to provide new factories, office buildings and other facilities on milk beverage production.

31.5 metric tonne of FF2 per year or 630 metric tonne of FF1 per year or 210,526,315 doses per year if they make the 80,000 tonne figure. Weight of Qin drink was estimated as the same weight as water. 1,000,000 ml = 1 tonne.
Its been in production since April last year and yes it contains FF http://wtoutiao.com/p/125LOdx.html
