ISO 14001 Environment Impact Assessment

No, it is not mandatory to conduct an Environment Impact Assessment to guarantee that a food manufacturing facility get certified to the ISO 14001:2015 standard. If that would be true, no established organization could be certified because they could not evidence a previous Environment Impact Assessment (EIA).

Conducting an Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) for the construction and operation of e.g. a food manufacturing facility can be useful to prevent significant environmental impacts and make ISO 14001:2015 certification easier and less expensive.
