How do you close the milk bag? Surely you can't leave it open wouldn't that shorten the milks lifespan, right?
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.
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.
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).
Milk should come in bags, there I said it

We used to get it in glass bottles, and the bottles would be reused (not melted down).
Just a shame getting it that way costs about 3-4 times as much as a big four pint plastic jug from Tesco.
That's just dumb. It's supposed to cost a little more, where the extra money is returned upon returning the bottle.
Oh, hello there fellow Canadian
I’ve heard this a couple times now. Where in Canada are they doing this?
Ontario and Quebec are the two I know have the 4L in bags. I don't know for the others.
Ontario? I think you mean NewFordland
Are the bags plastic?
Leather
It's just a live cow.
So, do you just throw the bag in the fridge? How is it stored?
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!

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