A dispensing closure (10) for application to a neck (52) of a liquid-filled container (50), the dispensing closure (10) having a main closure element (12) applied to the neck (52) of the container (50) and cup-shaped dust cover (14) removeably applied to the main closure element (12). The main closure element (12) has an annular top panel (16) overlying a rim of the neck (52) of the container (50) when the dispensing closure (10) is applied to the container (50), and an annular spout (20) surrounding an opening (26) in the top panel and extending away from the container (50). The dust cover (14) has an annular flange (47) extending downwardly from an imperforate top panel (40), and the annular flange (47) sealingly closes an opening (26) at the end of the spout of the main closure element (12) to prevent dispensing of liquid in the container (50) when the dust cover is in a first position relative to the main closure element (12). Upon removal of the dust cover from the main closure element (12), liquid in the container (50) may be dispensed from the container (50) through the main closure element (12), by way of the annular spout and the opening therein. <IMAGE>
