A barrier spout having a base flange and an upstand portion. The base flange has a top surface, a bottom surface and an outer surface. The upstand portion has a proximal end extending from the base flange terminating at a distal end. An upper opening is defined at the distal end, and a lower opening is defined at the proximal end. The base flange and the upstand portion each comprise a three layer co-molded configuration including an outer layer, an inner layer and a central layer. The central layer has an oxygen transmission rate that is less than an oxygen transmission rate of either of the outer layer and the inner layer.

1. A barrier spout comprising: a base flange having a top surface, a bottom surface and an outer surface;an upstand portion having a proximal end extending from the base flange terminating at a distal end, with an upper opening at the distal end, and a lower opening at the proximal end;a removable diaphragm extending across one of the upper opening and the lower opening, which removable diaphragm being cuttable at the respective distal or proximal end at which the removable diaphragm is positioned upon molding thereofwherein the base flange, the upstand portion and the removable diaphragm structurally comprise a co-injection molded structure, base flange and the upstand portion each comprise a three layer co-injection molded configuration, with an outer layer, an inner layer and a central layer, the central layer having an oxygen transmission rate that is less than an oxygen transmission rate of either of the outer layer and the inner layer. 2. The barrier spout of claim 1 wherein the central layer extends through the diaphragm. 3. The barrier spout of claim 1 wherein the removable diaphragm is substantially coplanar with the bottom surface of the base flange. 4. The barrier spout of claim 1 further comprising an upper annular rim flange positioned proximate the distal end of the upstand portion, the upper annular rim flange having a top surface, a bottom surface and an outer surface, wherein the removable diaphragm is substantially planar with the upper surface of the upper annular rim flange. 5. The barrier spout of claim 4 wherein the upper annular rim flange comprises the three layer co-injection molded configuration. 6. The barrier spout of claim 5 wherein the central layer extends to the outer surface of the upper annular rim flange. 7. The barrier spout of claim 1 wherein the central layer is fully encapsulated by the outer layer and the inner layer. 8. The barrier spout of claim 1 wherein the central layer extends to the outer surface of the base flange. 9. The barrier spout of claim 1 further comprising an upper annular rim flange positioned proximate the distal end of the upstand portion and a body flange positioned between the base flange and the upper annular rim flange. 10. The barrier spout of claim 1 wherein the outer layer and the inner layer comprise the same material. 11. The barrier spout of claim 10 wherein the outer and inner layers can each be selected from the group consisting of a polyolefin , EMA, EVA, LDPE, LLDPE, MDPE, HDPE and PP, and wherein the central layer can be selected from the group consisting of EVOH, PET, PETG, PEN, PBT, PA, PVDC, MXD-6, LCP, PAN and SAN. 12. The barrier spout of claim 1, wherein the removable diaphragm is substantially uniform in thickness. 13. A method of manufacturing a barrier spout comprising the steps of: co-injection molding a central layer surrounded by an inner layer and an outer layer into a barrier spout, with the central layer having an oxygen transmission rate that is less than an oxygen transmission rate of either of the outer layer and the inner layer, the barrier spout comprising: a base flange having a top surface, a bottom surface and an outer surface;an upstand portion having a proximal end extending from the base flange terminating at a distal end, with an upper opening at the distal end, and a lower opening at the proximal end;a removable diaphragm extending across one of the upper opening and the lower opening, effectively sealing at least a portion of a respective one of the upper opening and the lower opening;cutting the removable diaphragm so as to define a respective one of the upper opening and the lower opening across which the removable diaphragm extends, prior to attachment of the spout to a bag. 14. The method of claim 13, further comprising the step of: attaching the base flange to a flexible bag. 15. The method of claim 13 further comprising the step of controlling the co-injection molding so as to encapsulate the central layer within the outer layer and the inner layer. 16. The method of claim 13 wherein the barrier spout further comprises an upper annular rim flange. 17. The method of claim 13 wherein the outer and inner layers are formed from the same material. 18. The method of claim 17 wherein the outer and inner layers can each be selected from the group consisting of a polyolefin , EMA, EVA, LDPE, LLDPE, MDPE, HDPE and PP, and wherein the central layer can be selected from the group consisting of EVOH, PET, PETG, PEN, PBT, PA, PVDC, MXD-6, LCP, PAN and SAN.
