I supervise them and generally take them away after an hour or so and have never had any problems.

Lozibear, as long as you are aware of what your dog is like with them, he will be fine!!! Jess has never got tripe sticks, pigs ears, bones, rawhide, paddywhack etc etc stuck and she has been fine with them, so don't get worried until there becomes something to be worried about (which probs won't happen anyway).

If the dog/pup is supervised (which I always do
) they should be fine... 
My pup eats raw chicken wings and I suppose that is even more risky!!

hmmm i'd have thought it more risky to keep a dog crated on wire mesh for most of the day with no water, no bedding, no toys etc, and where its likely to end up with splayed paws from the wire mesh and possible muscle wastage from being kept crated in cruelty than a dog eating a tripe stick!
