A multi-layer valve is provided for allowing oxygen to enter a package while maintaining a level of fluid and leak resistance. The multi-layer valve includes a first layer of adhesive that has a top and bottom face with the bottom face being adhered to a release liner. A permeable layer is provided over the first layer of adhesive, a second layer of adhesive that has a top and bottom face. The bottom face of the first adhesive layer is adhered to the permeable layer and the top face of the first adhesive layer is adhered to a cover layer such that the bottom face of the second layer of adhesive is separable from the permeable layer while the top face of the second layer of adhesive maintains adhesion with the cover layer.
