As the country's reputation shifted from that of a dairy farming nation raising cows to one peopled by scientists and engineers, concern grew over the vast sums of taxpayer money pumped into the dairy industry. In the 1960s and 1970s, the dairy industry purportedly cost the Swiss government more than the whole cost of the army of Switzerland.<ref name=":0" />

The Swiss Cheese Union sponsored the 1992-1993 Swiss National Ski Team. The team wore yellow ski suits with simulated cheese holes.<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=py_DBwAAQBAJ&q=%22Swiss+Cheese+Union%22+sponsor+ski+team%2F&pg=PA53|title=Jet-propelled raclette|isbn=9783905252644|last1=Haver|first1=Gianni|last2=Middleton|first2=Robert|date=15 April 2015|publisher=Bergli Books }}</ref>

After corruption charges were leveled against a number of the Swiss Cheese Union officials, the union was disbanded by the late 1990s. Dairy subsidies continued, but competition between cheese makers was reintroduced, causing prices to plummet.
