I woke up this morning to find white mold on my roaches food (grain based food). It's not a colony, just a few hundred I've picked up to feed my two juvenile dragons. I cleaned out the mold and put the roaches in a new tub. Is it safe to still feed these roaches to my dragons? Should I wait a few days? Just throw them out?
Is it safe to feed...

I agree. Wait a week or two and see how they do or if the mold re-appears. Offer them some nice hydrating veges in the meantime and replace it daily to reduce the risk of further mold growth. You'll want their tub to be well ventilated (mesh top usually works well enough) to help prevent further mold from appearing.
Even if they don't die and you want to keep them isolated for a while, just keep feeding them veggie scraps and they'll eventually grow and establish a colony. If all goes well the colony will be a good source of food. They're pretty hardy and easy to take care of.
