Dangers of Iced Cappucino?

I was recently told at a large coffee chain that they could not make me an iced cappuccino, because putting the foamed milk over ice increased risk of bacteria problems. I had never heard of this before (and was not sure why this was much different than putting the steamed milk over ice, as they do for the ice latte they encouraged me to get instead). Is this true, and can anyone explain why? Much appreciated.
