Consumers’ Association

Consumers’ Association
a British organization that tests the quality of products and publishes the results each month in its magazine called Which?. This helps people to choose the best products and also gives the Association influence, which it uses to protect the interests of consumers (= people who buy goods or use services). The Association was formed in 1956 and now has over 700 000 members. It also publishes books, including The Good Food Guide.
