For the most part this behavior is usually only found in the hunting dog breeds (Labradors, German Shepards, Ridgebacks, etc ). I have owned Staffys and Staffy Xs all my life and not one of them has ever chowed down on their own gut nuggets.
My ex Missus used to have a Maltese that did it quite regularly. Then her cousins would come over and play with the dog and let it lick their faces. I didn't particularly like her cousins so I never used to say anything.
Needless to say, I always shook their hand in greeting rather than giving them a kiss on the cheek.
