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).
Throw the 4L bag in the fridge. Remove one of the three inner 1.3 L bags, and place it in the dedicated milk bag holder that every household has:
Snip the corner, pour yourself a glass, and enjoy!

How do you close the milk bag? Surely you can’t leave it open wouldn’t that shorten the milks lifespan, right?

From all these comments I have had some serious misconceptions on the fridge life of milk.
I was wondering the same thing. I’m guessing it just gets used fast enough. They are smaller than what most Americans buy.

We don’t close it. It’s never been a problem.
