I wouldn't, corned beef in its plastic package is much too salty to freeze,
probably won't even freeze solid in a home freezer. It's better to cook
corned beef and then freeze it, and still it won't have a very long shelf
life, like other similarly cured meats (tube steak, bacon) I'd say no more
than 4 months.
