Abstract: A dispensing closure for a sealed enteral fluid container includes a threaded cap with a central air inlet in the cap top covered by a hydrophobic/oleophobic air filter and an offset opening for a spike with an outwardly extending tubular spike guide. A resilient liner serves as a primary gasket seal between the cap top and the container neck lip and also seals to the spike during use while allowing air flow from the air inlet and filter along the spike into the container as enteral fluid is being withdrawn through the spike.
