Dr. McCullogh sent also me a very long list of ingredients of all of
Arby's foods, but (as he also predicted) it was too inconclusive to
be useful, with all the "modified food starch," "natural
ingredients," etc.

So, he then forwarded an Excel document, showing which foods are and
which are not GF, without referencing all the detailed ingredients.
That is, I gather that they have researched the nebulous ingredients
and were able to make up a GF/non-GF food list.

As Dawn says, if you have questions, do call the number she provided
(above).  When we called, Dr. McCullough was quite nice and helpful,
and did seem to understand celiac disease.  (Though it took him
several days to return my call.)  He also noted that they get MANY
MANY calls about celiac disease, daily.

The following items are listed as being GLUTEN-FREE by Arby's, with
THEIR disclaimer as noted:

NOTE:  "Although this information has been obtained from
sources believed to be reliable (usually the manufacturer
or supplier), we are not able to give assurances or guarantees
that this is a complete, current or accurate listing of gluten in
these ingredients.  Should you have concerns, we suggest that
you consider a different menu item."
