Milk and other raw foods generally won’t spoil any faster unwrapped Vs wrapped in a fridge. Wrapping is mostly to stop odour transfer and other physical contaminants. The lid of a milk jug would be functionally similar to wrapping a glass of milk with plastic wrap.
The bag-jug-holder-thingy that my partner’s dad gave us has a little hook thing where you can pull the snipped end of the bag through. Works fairly well to mostly close the bag, and only lets out a drizzle of milk when you tip it (my kid’s favorite part lol).
How do you close the milk bag? Surely you can’t leave it open wouldn’t that shorten the milks lifespan, right?

We don’t close it. It’s never been a problem.
I was wondering the same thing. I’m guessing it just gets used fast enough. They are smaller than what most Americans buy.
