Freezing doesn't necessarily kill bacteria. It stops them from multiplying, but they can revive when the food is thawed. And the toxins they produced before being frozen will still be there.

Can you repasteurize spoiled milk?
Sure, you can pasteurize anyfluid by heating it to an incredible temperature for a duration. Would you want to? Pasteurizing spoiled milk would kill off the bacteria present, but it's not going to make the milk good as new. I suppose repasteurized milk would be safe to drink, at least safer than the spoiled stuff, but it would probably taste awful since the milk has already soured.
