I have been drinking shakes made from frozen raw milk; just wondering that could it lead to any illness.

Does freezing raw milk kills harmful bacteria present in the milk?

Best Answer

No, freezing in a normal home freezer does not kill bacteria. They typically just enter a dormant state and reactivate as soon as you thaw the milk. Freezing a safe food extends the storage life, but does not make an otherwise unsafe food safe.
