Mother dogs eat the poo of their babies. This is somewhat natural behavior of dogs. No one talks about it, so people don't realize it. Just pick up the poo before the dog can get it. Call her to you for a treat instead. Keep her on a leash to potty at first if necessary to switch her to coming to you for a treat instead of turning to eat the poop.

If she does not have puppies, this habit may well fade over time with you preventing her from practicing it.
