Have some vitamin C. :p
The expiry sounds like it was made in 27 april 2007, and it should be eaten by 2008.. although that's not really specific. Weird.
I've accidentally eaten moldy bread a few times with no bad result.
Mold produces various chemicals as a by product, some of which are dangerous IN LARGE QUANTITY, but something tells me you stopped eating when you saw the mold. Since it's a chemical and not a bacteria, it can't get worse, so if you feel fine, you're probably fine. Some mold doesn't even produce harmful byproducts, for example Cumenbert(sp) is covered with thick "mold" when you buy it.
I'm sure the worst that will happen is a tummy ache and maybe some vomiting.
Most molds that spoil food produce the so-called aflatoxins.

Read it and you'll know all about what may happen to you.
Don't eat any more, throw the rest out.
If you've been eating it for awhile and don't have any symptoms (stomachache, diarrhea, nausea, or any other gastro-intestinal stuff going on), I wouldn't worry.
If you do have symptoms and they pass in a day, I wouldn't worry.
Don't forget, there are "good" molds too, like penicillin. Of course, it's not something I would ever seek out (except with blue cheese -- yes, the blue is mold).
Just remember, never eat anything that you body has a bad reaction to. If your body is rejecting it, it's for a reason.
