FERNDALE, Mich. – Schramm's Mead has voluntarily recalled bottles of "Elderberry" after two consumers reported nausea and upset stomachs after drinking the mead.

The meadery recommends that anyone who has a bottle of the mead should not consume it and instead return it to the tasting room at 327 West 9 Mile, Road in Ferndale.
