What happens if my bearded dragon accidentally ingests some of this while trying to catch a cricket?

This bedding will pass through the dragon if accidently ingested during feeding.

I recently switched from aspen bedding to the English walnut desert blend for my rosy boa. I have heard mixed reviews about using the crushed walnut substrate for rosy boas which left me wondering is this safe for my snake?
