    No. It may, however, go bad more quickly than normal after it has been opened because of its age and the freezing process.

    Additional: The following information is from a commercial dairy:

    "Freezing Milk: Although we do not recommend freezing milk products, for some it is a necessity. Milk may be frozen for as long as 3 months provided the sealed container is frozen prior to the best before date. Skim and 2% milk freeze better than Homo milk (whole milk). Thaw frozen milk in the refrigerator. The milk will still have the same nutrients, but it may separate. If it does, shake well or beat with an electric mixer or rotary beater.

    Freezing Egg Nog: Unopened egg nog may be frozen for up to 2 months, provided it is frozen prior to the best before date. Thaw in the refrigerator and shake well before serving, as there may be some ingredient separation during freezing.

    Freezing Cream: Freezing cream is not recommended because it affects the quality of the product. In most cases, freezing causes changes to the fat, which can lead to poor texture."

    Milk that's been frozen can have a somewhat funny taste to it, but other than that there's no harm in it.
