Vegan meat substitutes are mostly soy and have high estrogen-like compounds.  Would advise against it ... especially if you're a man.  But otherwise quite licit.
Processed store-bought meat substitutes often have a lot of soy. And salt. They also frequently have egg products.
But if you must have meat flavors and can tolerate gluten, you can make a vegetarian "sausage" at home with oatmeal, wheat gluten, and spices typical of sausages.

Is it ok to eat veggie hot dogs/burgers on fast days?
Your title says vegan and your question says veggie. Not exactly the same thing. Why not just eat veggies? Much better for your health than "dogs".

Yes, unless it's also a day of full abstinence.  I believe that's what OP had in mind.

The Beyond Meat products do not contain soy.  I had their Beyond Sausage in a burrito at Hardee's (same thing as Carl's Jr) the other day and it is surprisingly good.  I didn't expect much.   I would definitely drive out of my way to have that again.
