Moldy food

I bought some canned crickets from a local pet store and I've been keeping them in the fridge, I gave a leg to my ants 2 weeks ago and today I saw white mold on them, only some areas were affected, can I feed my ants the parts where there is no mold?

Yes but, remove any moldy crickets first and if mold keeps coming back, just discard all of them.

Hmmm those are grasshoppers not crickets lol.
My current colonies:
-Miniature Military(formica neogagates)
-Black Hearts(crematogaster cerasi)
In search of new camponotus colony
[Have a look at antmaps.org]
