The present invention is an improved plastic container having both improved thermal resistance and improved aroma and flavor barrier properties. The container comprises a polyethylene inner layer having a thickness in the range of 0.5 to 10.0 mil, and a coextruded polypropylene outer layer having a thickness such that the ratio of polypropylene to polylethylene is at least 2:1, and wherein the surface of the polyethylene layer has been treated with a reactive source of fluorine.
