Some molds are safe to eat, and some are quite toxic.  Some have been linked
with cancer.  My advice is, if you have any suspicions about any food you
buy, return it.  If the seller refuses to exchange it or refund your money,
find someone else to buy from.  Your health isn't something to take chances
with.
