You can make chitosan from fungi, instead of from shellfish. (Of course, fungi are NOT in the vegetable kingdom, but I think most people who say "vegan" really mean "NOT animal.") Anyway, good luck finding out if your chitosan is derived from fungi or not!
I thought Chitosan was made from chitin which is from the exoskeleton of creatures like shrimp. If it can be made from fungi why would it be called Chitosan?

I work with food and unless the person cant eat animal protein because of allergy or health reasons then it hardly matters. I watch the same people who ask me stupid questions like "has meat ever touched your grill" and "why can't you cook my portabello on the vegan grill" absolutely destroy a genoise sponge cake (almost completely eggs) or lemon merengue pie (also high in eggs) or the best is when they suck back that gelatin (derived from pork bones) set mousse cake.
thats why whenever I can, I feed veggos meat, muslims pork, and hindus beef! (j/king, or am I)
