This.
Mold sends out filaments or "roots" into foods it contaminates, particularly high-moisture food (like yogurt, soy or no), so just scraping it off or microwaving it won't make the food less toxic.
For a list of stuff that is ok to just cut/scrape mold off and eat the remainder of, have this link:

Good rule of thumb, low moisture, you're good (bread, hard cheese, etc.), everything else, throw all of it out.0
