What is the definition of "contaminants" in the UK?

Reason for the question is that there are several mite treatments that
introduce chemicals in the hive that are found in honey, such as formic
acid and, I beleive, oxalic acid. Even pollen could be considered a
contaminant, depending on the definition. Or are we only talking
specific pesticides as contaminants.
