I need to ensure that a whole bunch of files use unix line endings

almost anything will do - script, software, Automator, ...
tr(1) will do a single file
tr "\r" "\n" < in > out
...but since it does stdin to stdout, you'll need to write a temp
file and then mv it back.
How you feed tr depends on your requirements. find(1) is useful, or
in a shell script, something like
for file in *; do
tr "\r" "\n" < $file > /tmp/trtmp
mv /tmp/trtmp $file
done
...will, for example, convert all the files in the current directory.
It won't preserve ownership and permissions, though.
