Arby's took seven days to respond, and did not offer any vegan suggestions, but rather directed me to their online ingredient information.
The verdict:
Apple Turnover is vegan
Cherry Turnover is vegan
Arby's Sauce is vegan
Homestyle Fries have no animal ingredients but may be fried in oil shared with animal products
Potato Cake may or may not be vegan (Disodium Dihydrogen Pyrophosphate)
Raspberry Vinaigrette dressing is vegan
Red Wine Vinaigrette may or may not be vegan (Calcium Disodium EDTA)
Sub Roll may or may not be vegan (L-Cysteine)
Garden Salad is vegan if ordered without croutons (no crouton ingredient information found)

Do you like asking, "what's vegan?" No you don't.
About Me
Disclaimer
Note that any time you allow someone else to be responsible for your diet, by preparing food for you, cross contamination with animal products is a risk. Some following a vegan lifestyle may choose not to dine out for this reason. I provide this blog as a guide to making the best possible food choices for those who do, and the full text of correspondence to enable individual assessment of the claims as to the vegan status of any item. As a best practice and for health, cook at home for yourself! The cultural importance of the ritual of cooking and eating for oneself or one's family should not be underestimated.
The Question
I go straight to HQ in my best attempt to get definitive answers from the nation's most popular restaurants, seeking the answer to not only what's to eat that is vegan, but which restaurants are helpful, and which are making vegan life harder.

I would have never thought in a million years that the turnovers would be vegan!
I am surprised that the Turnovers are Vegan. Actually very surprised, knowing much of the food industry myself (through family) most oils are used for everything, anything involving fried foods in oils is usually non-vegan friendly
They're "baked," not deep fried like chicken fingers, fries, etc.
Shucks. They no longer have the homestyle fries!
