Donna already worked with two other brands last year: KIND snacks and Barefoot wine.
Ziploc found that three in four Big Game Watch party hosts feel guilty about throwing away leftovers.
Yet more than £18 million worth of leftovers were thrown away during last year’s competition.
To help fans reduce food waste and continue enjoying the snacks they love, Donna’s first order of business is to encourage guests to BYOZ (Bring Your Own Ziploc) to this year’s viewing party to bring their leftovers to take home.
Donna, the first-ever Ziploc Chief Leftover Officer, takes her new role seriously as she shows fans how they can help reduce food waste by bringing your own Ziploc® bags to game day gatherings.
To help reduce food waste, Ziploc appoints soccer mom Donna Kelce as the brand’s first-ever Chief Leftover Officer (CLO).
As a mother of two boys, Donna understands the importance of having a well-stocked kitchen and not letting food go to waste.
As CLO, her first job is to encourage fans to bring Ziploc bags when they go to Big Game Watch parties to take home their leftovers.

Jason first met Anti-Hero singer Taylor when she supported Kansas City Chiefs player Travis, 34, at one of his football games, but their mum Donna has since told he didn’t make a ‘good first impression’ despite a warning from his wife.
Donna told People: “Jason is his own man, just like Travis, and once they commit to doing something, there’s no stopping them. I wasn’t surprised at all (about how Jason reacted). He’s done it before and only saves it for his special moments.’
Despite Jason giving an exaggerated greeting when he first met Tayor, Travis later assured his brother and fellow footballer that the ‘Anti-Hero’ singer was absolutely thrilled to meet her potential future brother-in-law for the first time.
On his “New Heights” podcast, he said, “(Your) best first impression is the worst impression ever. Tay said she absolutely loved you!”
Meanwhile, Donna, 71, has begun to enjoy a media career of sorts since her youngest son started dating Taylor.
She told Extra, “I’ll tell you, it’s just… they create their own story, and I don’t even have to say anything, they just do it all themselves.”
Donna and Taylor seem to be getting along well, even though the mother said the singer didn’t make a great first impression

But Donna – who used to work as a bank manager but tried again a while ago – recently admitted that while her own sudden fame came as a shock, she likes to be recognized when she’s out and about.
She said: ‘It was a ride. That’s for sure. It’s a little different.
‘Sometimes I feel like I’m on another planet. I’m like, ‘What has my life become?’
‘It was a ride, that’s for sure. It’s nice to be recognized. It is. Most everyone is quite respectful and very positive.”
This comes after Kylie Kelce said she feels ‘guilty’ about her sudden fame.
The 31-year-old events consultant – who is married to NFL player Jason Kelce and has Wyatt, four, Elliotte, three, and 11-month-old Bennett with him – is in the spotlight because her brother-in-law Travis is dating pop megastar Swift.
And she struggles to understand exactly why she now has a million followers on Instagram, all of whom are so ‘interested’ in her daily life.
On “Good Morning America,” she said, “I almost feel a little guilty that people are so interested and invested in what I do. I’m like, ‘I’m trying to scrape applesauce off the couch. … This isn’t that fascinating.” So to me it’s funny. I really appreciate the support!’
