Heres the explaination of the list:

The Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) filers (i.e., employees who are required to file either a confidential or public financial disclosure report) may not hold financial interests in companies which are significantly regulated by the FDA. For purposes of the FDA Conflict of Interest regulations and this listing, "significantly regulated" is defined as "an organization in which the sales of FDA-regulated products constitute ten percent or more of annual gross sales in the organization's previous fiscal year. Where an organization does not have a record of sales of FDA-regulated products, it will be deemed to be significantly regulated if its operations are solely in fields regulated by FDA."

As a service to our employees, FDA has developed this edition of the Listing of U.S. Industries (See Related Links Below), a listing of all U.S. Companies publicly traded on stock exchanges within the United States.

The listing is broken down into two categories:

Acceptable
Significantly Regulated
