Pre-cooked wheat paste?

I recently noticed that Hollinger, Gaylord Archival and Talas are all selling a “pre-cooked” wheat paste that only requires mixing with cold water. They’re presented as creating the same paste as the standard version you cook yourself.

Does anyone have experience with these? Are they known to be safely equivalent to the standard paste?
