A coated chewing gum includes a gum center containing a water-insoluble gum base and a first active material, and a shell coated around the gum center, with the shell containing a second active material. The coated chewing gum may be made by homogeneously dispersing a first active material in a gum base to form a gum mass; forming discrete masses of the gum mass; and coating the discrete masses with a coating composition containing a second active material. |
