Frazil:
Soft or amorphous ice formed by the accumulation of ice crystals in water that is too turbulent to freeze solid.
.
Could frazil similarly be used to describe the ice which forms in liquids too close to the back of the fridge?
In these scenarios, it is seemingly the opposite: the turbulent blown cool air is cold enough to form a few ice crystals in say, your milk or grape juice, but the latent heat in the unshifting environment (just above freezing) rather than the shifting waters keeps ice from fully freezing liquids.

Frazil ice is a term more specific to open water however most people would perhaps normally call a frozen food liquid Slush
Thick accumulations of frazil ice, usually indicative of rough surface conditions which induce turbulent mixing in the upper water column.
